Just wanted to share these tiny counters with you guys. A seller on ebay had several to choose and these were the ones I liked the best. From time to time these will pop up but I've never seen the seated quarter, half or trade for sale so had to have them. "Lauer was a well known firm of die sinkers and engravers from Nürnberg in Germany." I'm guessing they were made in the 1870s-1880s. They all are smaller than a half dime. If you have any post them, would love to see them!

Those are cool!
Mr_Spud
This are fantastic!!!
I have several different Lauer pieces but none of the ones you have. I think they refer to yours as model spiel tokens but,
could be wrong.
This is where I have a thread going

Thanks coinsarefun!! Looks like you do have the 2 1/2 and ten dollar piece as well.
Has anyone seen a twenty dollar gold liberty example? What is a good reference guide for these?
