I really don't get out nearly like I used to so this was a fun pickup.....and in good shape for a contemporary counterfeit

I thought to show everyone the total collection so far......a few are missing
as I haven't had time to insert them

A very nice piece. Too well done to be a spielmarke, I think.

coinsarefun · September 24, 2016 10:13AM

I didn't think it was a spiel marker or token as its copper and the other ones I have is brass.
We're the made in copper?

That an impressive collection.

Really interesting collection, great presentation. The new addition is very well made.

I simply thought you had made a purchase of a nice looking older coin. Great photos and that summary sheet is impressive.

The George III item is a George III Spade Guinea Token.
The OP's token is in much better shape than most.

Putting the legend "C.W.B. ET. CO. DG. I. REX F.D. B.I.R.M." into an internet search engine will lead one down a path of interesting British numismatics.

I have a similar token:

Thanks crazyhounddog, kaz and JobIII

WillieBoyd2.........I will agree with you. What threw me off is the red toning.
Its is brass but whatever it was stored in all this time gave it an appearance of copper.

Cougar1978.ricko,123cents, ElKevvo and ashland.....thanks for the nice comments.

mark, thanks for asking......overall holding up. Kidney transplant down to only 7% clearance so the end is coming soon. I am still working with my donor and G-d willing something with happen soon.......take care!!
