Hey all you Stoners

JamesMurray

Keystoners that is : ) Being an adopted son of Pennsylvania this item caught my eye , it's without doubt the least expensive coin/token ive purchased this year.I'm not sure if it's the ugliest or if i like it , but i'm leaning towards liking it.It's nicer in hand than pics suggest.Its about the size of an old 2c piece.
Id really like to know more about it if anyone has one or has seen one , it's the first one i've seen.

Obviously, I was expecting something a wee bit different here.

Obvious spelling mistakes on coinage always amaze me. Did no one notice or care?

Rarely do you see a "period" at the end of a motto or tribute. Interesting token.

Believe it or not, "employes" was an accepted way of spelling that word back then. I've been going through some old newspapers from where I grew up in Virginia, and as recently as 1950, that's the way the paper spelled the word.

Thanks for that Richbeat , that puts it all to bed nicely.Heres my latest Lads , now doesnt that obverse just have yer heart swelling ? Its a beaut...US Mint please take note.This one is almost impossible to photograph,its a real mirror finish.Back in its airtite now , another keeper.
