USAuPzlBxBob Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Tell us a little about this "coin." Were you searching for it, do the TPGs grade these things, can they be found without the hole-punch, what is its diameter, and what did it cost? To find one of these without the hole-punch… well, it would make a great poker-hand down-cards "cap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the size of a half dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached is a similar one. I'm from NY so it's kind of fitting to have one. I think the prohibition token may have been made with a hole for a keychain, and maybe given out as promotional items by liquor companies. I also saw another similar one on the HA site with the following description: 1855 New York Prohibition, brass, 28mm, obverse features inverted drinking glass with legends STATE OF NEW YORK/NO REPEAL/JULY 4, 1855, reverse has wreath border and legends TO/COMMEMORATE/THE PASSAGE/OF THE/PROHIBITORY/LIQUOR/LAW, holed as issued, brown and greenish verdigris; and an 1855 New York Prohibition AU50, brass, 28mm, types as previous, much original color. It indicated "holed as issued" in the HA listing, and they appear to be similarly holed. Edited November 28, 2022 by EagleRJO ldhair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neophyte Numismatist Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 The hole is to hold a skinny cocktail stir/straw on the edge of the glass of your Manhattan. AdamWL and Fenntucky Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
