Comments

There are reportedly six varieties of this token, at least two of which can be discerned from the style of the "G" used in the word "GOOD" on the reverse.

NY 630 AOa - Scovill - Small dots on obverse and no dots on reverse

NY 630 AOb - Osborne - Medium dots on obverse and No serifs on G in GOOD

NY 630 AOc, NY 630 AOd, NY 630 AOe - Meyer & Wenthe - Large dots and serif on G in GOOD

Atwood - Coffee does not describe the difference between these

NY 630 AOf
Has the obverse of NY 630 AOb and the reverse of NY 630 AOe

This a counterfeit
