It is also listed in Keith Davignon's "Contemporary Counterfeit Capped Bust Half Dollars" 2nd edition as 1837 2/B. Interestingly, this same reverse die was used in 1833, 1836, and 1838 to coin other counterfeit half dollars. All had lettered edges.

I was gifted this by a former CU and NGC forum member, Curly. It will of course never receive a good grade, but it’s a keeper for me until it’s passed on to a new custodian.

It's been great seeing all of these tokens surface, although, I'm only tracking and logging tokens I win or want, not all of them. There haven't been too many unlisted tokens that I've noticed but I'm not checking all of them. Hmm, never thought about adding tokens to TC, I'll have to check that out later today and see how it goes. 
Fortunately, I've been able to pick up everything I've wanted for my primary token collection but those few pieces wiped out most of my budget. That being said, 2023 has been an amazing year for me and my token collection, I doubt I'll have another year like it. 
Yeah, you'll be better off paying a little extra for the token being auctioned than trying to find a SC token that Tony does not have. Sniping is a good way to go, seems like most auctions I follow end past my bedtime so I typically have to hang a number on an item and hope for the best. 
Good Luck in the auction! 

I recently purchased this token from Steve Hayden, one of the leading token dealers in the country. He is currently selling a collection of lumber company tokens that contained over 14,000 pieces. Several of the members of this forum are following this sale, and at least two have won tokens in this auction. I have been bidding like crazy, but have not been able to out bid the competition very often. Prices are really strong right now.
This token is unlisted in the MS token book, and the company is not listed on the MS Sec of State website. The following information is from Ebay seller Armagosa1:
A June 1917 Draft Record exists for Clinton Kelley Nixon, born June 25, 1890, listed as “Manufacturers Of Lumber”, self employed and living at Paden, Mississippi. 
C. K. Nixon is listed as “Saw Mill” at Paden, Mississippi in the 1918 Dun. 
The 1919 Bradstreet lists J. F. Nixon & Brother as “General Store” and C. K. Nixon as “Planing Mill” at Paden. 
The 1920 Census notes Clinton K. Nixon (age 29) as “Overseer, Own Lumber Mills” with his home at Paden, Tishomingo county, Mississippi. 
C. K. Nixon doesn’t show up again until 1923 in the D&B’s as “Mfr Lbr & Saw Mill” at Paden.
The Oct 15, 1921 The Southern Lumberman includes a notice under Tishomingo, Mississippi: “October 11th the C. K. Nixon sawmill, near Paden, was destroyed by fire at a late hour last night.  All lumber on the yard was saved.  This is the third sawmill fire in this section within a month”. 
 
 
 

Yeah, I've been feeling the same way about Mississippi tokens.  Although, I have to say that I have been enjoying seeing all the unlisted tokens that have been appearing. I've added several entries to my token book. Not just unknown issuers, but also unlisted denominations of existing tokens. I'm not sure if anyone is putting this new information on Tokencatalog.com, but, if not,  I will post them on there after the auction is over. I've also been keeping a record of prices realized, not just of this auction, but anything else I can find on the web. That's something I used to do several years ago, but got out of the habit. That will be more information that I can put on the website for future collectors to use.
I've been able to keep my spending under control, more or less. I decide, when a token is posted, how much I'm willing to pay. I'll put in my bid, and if it gets outbid, I just let it go. I have been the under bidder on far more auctions than I have won. Being outbid by just a dollar sometimes makes me want to put in one more bid, but, so far I've been able to resist the urge.
I am watching one now that I really want. It's the last one I need to complete a set from a particular mill. I've only seen one other one come up for auction, and that was over a year ago. I got out bid on it because I wasn't paying attention. (I actually know where one other example is, but Tony Chibbaro has it, and he doesn't want to sell it out right. He wants to swap it for a South Carolina token. How could I possibly find a South Carolina token that Tony doesn't have already?) I'm changing my strategy and watching this one without bidding. I'm hoping that the prices remain low so that I can put in a bid at the last minute. We will see how that goes.

I'm glad Steve moved off of Michigan tokens for now, me and my wallet needed a break. Fantastic token and information as always, congrats on the NEWP!

I won this token about a year ago for not too much. It was sent to NCS for conservation which they did do, but the stains are still left behind. Sadly it was cleaned and got a details grade but I looked at other specimens and the MS 64 that was for sale around the time I won this did not have as much detail in the eagle as this one does, especially in the claws. I actually have not found any others with as much detail as this one has.

Welcome to the forum.
Your 1864 two cent piece, a Large Motto variety, looks pretty nice for the grade, judging by your pictures. Other than a few rim dings, it doesn't look too banged up. It does appear to have a bit of wear, which would put it in the AU grade range, and it is sporting a couple of interesting die cracks. The weak "6" is likely the result of a partially grease-filled recess in the die, which did not allow the numeral to be fully struck. It also has a fingerprint on the obverse side, which some collectors are put off by, but doesn't really bother me. Although it is hard to tell just from pictures, it doesn't look to me as if it has been cleaned.
I would put the value at around $100, so I don't think it would be worth the cost to have it graded. If it were mine, I would put it in an album or 2x2 and enjoy it as it is.

Good point. There is a lot of assuming and jumping to hasty conclusions on this board -  and I am as guilty as anyone.

When the coin that sold for $19,200 was auctioned, there were only three graded at that level at PCGS. As Sandon stated above, there are now 6. Someone (actually 2 "someones") wanted that coin badly - probably for their PCGS registry set. That is the most likely explanation for the price going so high. The most recent auction of a '76 silver in PCGS MS69 that I could find was in December, 2021. It went for $6600, including juice. I think it is safe to assume that there will never be another one of these quarters that will sell for anywhere near $19k, unless someone finds one that grades MS70.
To the OP: it is impossible to accurately grade your coin from the pictures provided (and even with perfect pictures, grading without seeing the coin in hand is just a matter of educated guessing). However, I don't think your coin would grade high enough to make it worth more than a few dollars. There are several examples graded MS 67 on Ebay right now that are for sale for under $30, and I doubt yours would reach that grade.

The Mathis general store was in operation in Walnut, Mississippi from 1911 - 1940. Mathis and sons also operated a stave mill in the same town.
This 10 cent token is listed as R9 (2-3 known).

That's a nice site that I will check out more when I have time.  I'm afraid I have no similar site to suggest.  Most of my info comes from books I've acquired over the years and relationships I've built with dealers and fellow collectors. Steve Hayden is running an auction right now with some nice New York store cards. https://www.civilwartokens.com/

Okay, I'll bite since it's Tuesday.  Here is one of my tokens that reminds me of @Hoghead515's beard. 

An acid, by definition, has a PH <7. Anything with a PH higher than 7 is considered an alkaline. Even in its most dilute form, an acid cannot have a PH above neutral (7).

I'm not sure what your point is, but if you're thinking that acid has a pH from 0 to 14, you are reading that wrong. The term "basic" is another word for "alkaline".
