On a thicker planchet with a reeded edge. Dave spent many years collecting these Sage tokens, and once they are sold, many varieties will require a lot of effort to replace, although they are not expensive. As has been said for many tokens and medals, finding them is the great challenge, not paying for them. For most rare federal coins the opposite is true!From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Cardboard 2x2 with attribution notation included.
