I need your help. Years ago I discovered a coin with unusual markings to say the least. No discernible date or legible writings.
Remarkably, using extreme magnifying glass, and finally digital camera on macro resolution, did I finally discover ' W & H CO NEWARK NJ ' stamped on the reverse.
I did a lot of online searches and discovered that the Whitehead and Hoag Button Co made a lot of stuff between 1858-1959. Medals, celluloid pins, buttons and coins. My problems is as such...out of all the coins they made....I can find no record of this coin.
I assume this is the face of the token. A lady with a sash or ribbon
and an arm and hand on the right ( offering two somethings ).
This is the reverse of the token. A lot more going on here. Many symbols. 5 sets of three dots. Snakes. Under the bottom scorpion symbol is the text...barely discernible here. Triangle and a few more symbols.
If anyone has any ideas about this coin please comment on this article or email me : rozmun1@yahoo.com
As of this posting, I have contacted 4 numismatists and heard back from one. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Trevor Dodge
