New token M R good for 2 1/2 cents

[IAMZIM]

Been a while since I have found a token, which is one of my favorite finds! Not a special one though, just a maverick, blank on the back. Gonna be pretty hard if not impossible to I.D. This one.....

I zoomed in on the pic, I think I see a J.M.R. , didn't see the "J" at first.....

Zim--I was just going to ask if that wasn't a J. in front. Do take a close look at the back, though. This one appears to be a "St. Louis-made part-incuse" token and may have the maker's mark on the back. That would help date it if nothing else. Also, please consider posting it on tokencatalog.com

The back is pretty hammered, but when I get a chance I'll get some CLR to soak it in for a few, and I might get some detail, It has worked in the past for me, I'll let you know! And of course I give you permission to post it on tokencatalog....

Careful with CLR - it works well, but I give it no more than 30 seconds at a time when I use it. I know one guy who forgot and when he came back his token was totally ruined.

Nice token

Worked it for awhile. I am pretty positive it has always been blank on the back.

I use scratch free Comet and water and rub it between my fingers. My tokens turned out nice.
