    As the others have said DO NOT believe anything you hear about coins on YouTube, unless the videos come from a reputable numismatic organization like NGC, PCGS, ANACS, the PNG or the ANA.  Coin-wise, YouTube is a hive of liars and sensationalists that will say anything to create click bait in order to increase the numbers of viewers they get.  But it doesn't change the fact that these people are liars and frauds.  Definitely stay off of YouTube when looking for good coin information.  Signing up here at NGC is a good step forward in getting better coin information.

    Thank you for doing that OCD work of looking for new varieties, Hinkle. If I had to do it, I’d last about two hours before I blew my brains out. 
     
    In all seriousness, I could NEVER do what you guys do in searching out “discovery coins”. I would literally go insane.

    Mohawk got a reaction from Hoghead515 in It's Token Tuesday! Post 'em if you got 'em.   
    That's a really cool story, Hog, and a really neat connection you have to these tokens.  That kind of connection definitely plays into things for me as well.  My maternal family came from East Germany (in case I didn't tell you before......I can't remember who I've told and who I haven't), so that's a huge part of why my early East German project is so important to me.  It's a way of connecting to that family and to my late mother.  As I've gone through my life, I've also realized how much the culture of East Germany, through my family, has influenced and impacted me and made me who I am along with really impacting how I perceive and feel about many things.  Personal connections are very powerful stuff and can cause a passion in people like few other things.  I hope you can build a whole set of those tokens....it'd be a really cool achievement with huge family significance.

    So true.  He does take good photos.  He seems to hallucinate things while he does so, but he does take good photos.

    Looks like they had tokens in denominations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents, and $1.
    Here is the Tokencatalog.com page for Grahn, KY. It will be interesting to see if your two $1 tokens have the same misspelling as the one shown.

    Thank you for that link. Very cool. My papaw also worked at that brickyard. Along with a couple uncles also. A friend of mines papaw almost lost his life there. Got electrocuted. I would love to someday try to find the rest of those tokens for my collection. When those come in I will share them and see if they have the mispelling.

    I know its not Tuesday yet but Im very excited and wanted to share this story. I bought a few of these tokens off a seller on Ebay about a year ago. I was very suprised because they were from an old store my papaw owned. I got a couple 25 cent and a couple 50cent. I was telling the seller how cool it was to get them and the story about my papaw owning that store. They remembered that and sent me a message a year later telling me they found some more. They were wonderful people to talk to. Very nice. Alot of people wouldnt care less about something like that. My mom loaned me the money to buy them till my pay goes in the bank. She was very excited to see them also. This lot consist of four 25c, four 50c, and two $1 tokens. Im very excited to add a couple $1 tokens in with the others. Not sure what all is in a full set of them but it would be really cool to get a whole set eventually. Some have a few flaws but the history tying my family to them makes them special to me. Grahn was a very small community.  Had a school, a post office, a brickyard, and a small store. This one on the token.  My mother was raised in this small community. It had a very small population. It still does today. This store closed many years ago. Around 1980. Another took its place in the late 80s but closed in the mid 90s due to lack of business. The brickyard is still in operation but hanging on by a thread. My uncle was working there but took a different job because they can only fire it up a day or two a week. The school also closed back in the mid 90s and all the kids started going to a school in the next town over due to the small number of students. Here is one Ive shared before but I will post it to show everyone which ones Im talking about. I will share the new ones when they come in. The other token I shared a in a post a few days ago came from the same seller. It was a brickyard token from the next town over where my other papaw worked. It was very cool to see the same seller have tokens that have businesses with ties to both sides of my family.

    Speaking of the iguanas in Florida.....I'm honestly surprised that American Alligators don't snag more of them than they do.  Maybe Alligators don't like how Iguanas taste.....
