coal scrip

[kycoinguy]

I found this coal scrip yesterday. I haven't been able to find out anything about it. I have seen some that are similar to it. I assume that it had an aluminum piece that went in the center like some of the other ones I have seen, but it was so corroded it fell apart in my hand. I had to use electrolysis on it so I could make out what it said. If anyone has any info on this in would be appreciated. I can't seem to find anything about it.

Storm King Coal Company, Inc. was located in Hazard, Perry County, Ky from 1915 to 1925 according to a google search. I'm from Harlan. Seems that is one of the oldest mines in the area, starting the same year as Blue Diamond.

I have a scrip from Goose Creek mine, dated to 1943-1944. I didn't dig up, but I have no idea where it came from. All my family is from Logan County, WV, and deeply (no pun intended) involved in the coal industry.
