Hi Sue

What I am is an uncureable pack rat, I collect many things, tokens are just a part of the overall scheme of things

I have probly a few of dozen tokens in my collection, I think15 are metal detector finds, the rest are just interesting, casino tokens,arcade tokens and the like !!

But I certianly like the one you found !!! and not just because my heritage on my mothers side is from England !!

They were Crumrines, and Pratts ,Located around London, until 1495 when a faction of the family made their way to the New world !! Im sure somewhere in the UK I still have a distant relative or two !! seeing as how, my Fathers side is from Scotland !!
