I have never found one with a cut out!
idahotokens said:Interesting find! I don't recall seeing one with the denomination stencil-cut somewhere other than in the center. It looks like a product of one of the Cincinnati makers. Finding out who L. D. was will be a trick. I see Louis Dornseif is the only saloon-keeper in the 1880-81 Cincinnati Business Directory with those initials. His saloon was on the southwest corner of Liberty and Bremen. Of course, the token may be from later than that time and/or from somewhere other than Cincinnati.
