TOKENS OF VAUX HALL TAVERN, BALTIMORE
Aaron Packard passed along the following in response to a question I had for him at last Tuesday's Nummis Nova meeting.

As a follow-up from last week's dinner, I believe you had asked if there were two Vaux Hall pieces that I had brought at two different times.
The first example was emitted by Robert Soulsby. He was the proprietor of Vaux Hall from 1839-1846.
The second was emitted by Benjamin Jury. He was the proprietor of Vaux Hall from 1848 to 1850. Both emissions are the size of half-dimes. It is surmised that they were worth 5-cents.
Aaron had brought these tokens to the March 2014 Nummis Nova meeting. Thanks for the information and images. Interesting to see that the two issues spelled the tavern's name differently - Vaux vs. Voux.
