As most of you know......I like and collect tokens. I had an opportunity to purchase this Robinson storecard. Its silver, the most expensive metal out of all the storecard metals. A little background on them: !861 Alfred S. Robinson Although more commonly known by the Rulau and Miller storecard token numbers, this is also listed in Kenny as Robinson 1. The obverse is based on the type 2 Higley with "VALVE" although it is not a close copy. According to Robinson's price list, reproduced in Kenny, 20 examples were produced in silver and 150 examples were produced in each of the following metals: brass, copper, nickel, plated and in tin. Robinson called this storecard the Granby copy after the city where the original coppers were produced. Since there are only 20 available and rarely come up for auction, after much debate and thought I decided to purchase this one All would have the pedigree of The Henry South Collection The rest of them Brass Copper/Nickel White Metal

I like it! Glad you decided to keep it. With a pop of 20, I'd always have to wonder if another would come around that is a nice as this one.
