I have sent a picture of the coin to a dealer to see if it is a new never seen Blacksmith token. The back of the coin is blank unless it is worn out. The blacksmith tokens were made to look like a wore out British coppers, they would throw the tokens in the fire to blacken them to hide all the imperfections of a bad stamping. It could be just an old worn copper but who knows? I think I was using my whittes 5900 at the time, it came from an old tavern site. HH
