Liberty Gold Tokens - Update

I have learned a little more but not much, because there is so little known about these.  However, I thought I would publish what I do know, from Mike Locke whom collects these things.

This is the first variety, pretty good die definition and detail, 9.3mm across.  Mike believes that there are seven of these known:














What I found is believed to be the type 2 variety.  Not very good definition of the indian head, 9.8mm across. and Mike believes there are now about 30 of these known - 15 having been found at once in a coffee can in Liberty a few years back.  Though he mentioned that he really does not believe the story about the origin of the 15.
