Last week John Kraljevich asked about this unusual 1811-dated token, which he found described in the1914 George Parsons sale by Henry Chapman.
-Editor
From the Parsons sale catalog:
2077a. Unknown origin. 1811. Snake and 15 stars. R. Eight separate triple leaves, enclosing OIE DIOE, outside .1.0. 8 *0. I D S.
Feuchtwanger metal. Size of a dime. Good. Have never met with another — though bearing date of 1811, I take it to be of 1835-1840 work.
Ken Bressett writes:
Lot 2077a brought 50c in the Parsons sale. My copy of the sale is priced but has no buyer’s names.
