I could have listed this under literature, but it's mostly a question on AP16.I recently got a copy of TAMS Journal V12N6 Part II, December 1972, American Game Counters, by Rulau and Fuld. Notably, AP16, McCafferty, is listed under Miscellaneous as Mcy-6. It is listed as being Nickel-Silver, reeded, R6 (20-74 known), and described as a political flipping half dollar. There is a further reference to “The Numismatist”, Jan 1941.
Can anyone confirm a nickel-silver variety?
Can anyone confirm the plain-edge indicated in Kuethe? The one I have is brass but reeded (scan sent to Jon).
Anyone have Numismatist Jan, 1941?
Other interesting notes:
The scope excludes Magician’s tokens that were included in the earlier work by H. H. Kurth, “Revised list of American Game Counters”, Reprint from Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine, 1952.
The Kurth cross-number appendix lists Kurth 81A as the “magic pieces not listed.” What was this? 81B is cross referenced as a radiant-eagle counter. So I assume 81A is also an eagle counter.
The bibliography lists Hawkins, R.N.P., “To Hanover Counters”, Reprint from Numismatic Chronicle, 1959. (No other mention of anything like AP27)
