I will say but a few things regarding this token as I will assume that Broadstruck will eventually
get around to posting an in depth article and wondrous token for all of us to enjoy.

This is a new pickup, not particularly rare, but it is an important merchant token as it has an "intrinsic value of 25 cents"
and "warranted pure silver" which is quite a good sum of value for 1857.

I'm still looking for a really super nice example but did find this one at a very fair price.

A good amount of information Can be found on novanumismatics.com website


There are many counter stamped coins that pre date this token but this was specifically engraved and minted for Wood’s Minstrels.


An image of my token......hope you enjoy.
