Wow,
I am not a big token fan but this has me pumped. Was working the woods off a local park with my son when I got a hit about 4 inches down with a high quarter reading.
One side reads Pumplok on the top with a 2 in the middle and Pumplok again on the bottom.
The other side reads CHAS H. SIMERSON CO. on top, a 2 in the middle and W. Hoboken N.J. on the bottom.
This token is just about the size of a quarter at 24mm or 15/16ths of an inch. 2 cent pieces are approx. 23.5 mm!
I have never found a 2 cent piece and until now never heard of a 2 cent token. I do see there have been some Simerson 4 and 5 cent ones on EBay but haven't seen a 2 cent one, if that's what it is.
Well, maybe not. He has three patents from 1913 to 1925. Also found a N.Y. Times article where he was at a party with Gov. Teddy Roosevelt in 1900.
Had to leave early as I split my pants and I mean really split. It got a little chilly. My wife thought it was hilarious when I got home.
