    Finding varieties is one of the fun ways to collect tokens, as it is with coins. The problem with the ones that I collect is that, unless the wording or placement of the words is different, the Mississippi token book only gives a description like "2 varieties known." With no description of the difference, it is up to me to look at all examples to see it I can find out what the difference is. Still, that makes things more interesting.
    Nice tokens

    In 1906, the Bullard brothers built a sawmill south of Savoy, MS, at a point where the Mobile & Ohio RR, and the New Orleans and Northeastern RR, came together and ran only a few feet apart for several miles, before separating again. It was a convenient spot to load and ship their lumber products to many different parts of the country. Below is a picture of the two tracks running side-by-side. The M&O is the one on the left with the train on it; the NO&NE is on the right.
    This token is not listed in the Mississippi book. Along with the 10 cent piece that I own, I also know of a 50 cent and a 25 cent token which exist.

    First, Welcome to The Forum. Second, try not to be so impatient. You posted a coin, someone replied, and then only 7 minutes later you got aggravated because they didn't answer your question. What you need to understand is that not everyone hangs out on the forum 24 hours a day. It's possible that he saw your coin, answered your question, then put his phone down and went back to work.
    Now, let's start over. Repost clear pictures of your coin, both sides, and let us see if we can evaluate what you have. The picture you have posted is much too blurry to make any kind of determination.

    Re: Statue of Liberty
    Reverse:  the legend "Statue of Liberty, NY," and the monument actually more formally known as, Statue of Liberty Enlihhtening the World, encircled by a field of stars which interestingly exceeds fifty in all.  Obverse: the center bears the fact: "Same thickness of copper as the Statue of  Liberty 3/32".

    Very simple. I put it in the chest freezer overnight. Took it out the following afternoon. Put it in a bench vise with the jaws at the lower edge of the coin, took a BP hammer, and started swinging...VOILA!
    Shattered the Lucite and the coin came away clean. I guess you could say, Morgan FREED, man!
    Cheers
