    There's a great article in the current Numismatist about Machin's Mill.

    Are they tokens or are they counterfeit coins intended to circulate as money at a time when hard money was scarce?

    They were simply "Coppers" and no one cared what was on them or where they were from...as long as weight and size was OK they were Coin of the Realm.

    Is that what this is? I found this a few years ago and have failed to find out anything interesting. I look forward to picking up a copy of the article. Do these have a market or should I attempt to spend it?

    Counterfeit ... there is a an article on these issues in this month's ANA Numismatist magazine by Mark Fox.
    A lot of history regarding the mint and it's founders. I found it to be very interesting, but there is still a lot more to learn.


    BTW very cool coins!
