Engraved Birth Token Fashioned out of No Motto Liberty Seated Half Dollar. A crescent moon and star are cut out of the coin with O. ROSE / FEBY 29TH 1828 engraved on the smoothed obverse of the coin. The original working pinback is still intact and mounted on the reverse of the coin. This may be the leap year birth token of Oliver Rose (1828-1913), who is buried in Palmyra, MO. A truly visually appealing and unique example!From the Steve M. Tompkins Collection.
