Originally posted in detecting but thought it interesting enough to share it here. The 1918 newspaper ad I found while researching the elephant token. I guess the 3 patent dates were worth bragging about back then. Enjoy. Peace Roy

Oh, cool. Now what I'm wondering is whether the token is overstruck on a cent, or just on a different kind of blank planchet? Something about the incuse, stamped lettering makes it look to me like the sort of thing that would've been done with a host coin?
@lordmarcovan Well it's 1.1mm and 5.9 g so I'm pretty sure they made their own swag. Of course that was the first thing I did was whip out my loupe and checked the rev for any detail. This farm is located approx 35 miles n/o Philadelphia in Bucks County. Have a good day. Peace Roy
