DeWitt-C-1861-13 It’s tough to find nice examples of this piece, especially with a fair amount of silvering left. Only 13 graded (9 at PCGS and 4 at NGC) That's a interesting piece. I have to say most of the coins I collect have dead people on them also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Bob Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 In 1917, Lucius O. Crosby and Lamont Rowlands bought the property of R.J Williams, which consisted of a sawmill and mercantile. The store became the C&R Mercantile, and in 1924, the name was changed to The C&R Stores. The main location was in Picayune, Mississippi, and at various times, there were branch locations in 11 different towns, including Blodgett, two tokens of which are shown below. Tokens for this branch were issued in denominations of 10 cents, 25 cents, and one dollar, with two different varieties known for the dollar denomination. All types are listed as R9 (2 to 3 known) in the MS token book. rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Just Bob Posted May 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2023 A.D. Spencer tokens were coined in denominations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 cents. Despite the appearance of my pictures, the tokens are all brass. Side note: Charleston, MS is the home of Morgan Freeman.

Popular Post Just Bob Posted June 21, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2023 Back on page nine of this thread, I posted a few examples of work by token company Green Duck Corporation, and I mentioned that their focus shifted in the 1970s to mainly Mardi Gras doubloons and casino slot machine tokens. Here is an example of one of their sample slot tokens that I recently picked up on eBay.
