owensboro , ky
i have been on the web for a few hours trying to find out about these. i dug these up here in owensboro , KY. i posted the coal token on the token and tag page but never got a reply. so i thought i would see if you all could help , like you did on the coal token. thank you all for that. this is one neat site. the one thats for 5 cent needs to be cleaned but some one told me not to because it would rune it. thanks again

Maverick tokens with just initials in the name are next to impossible to attribute. This one is not in the Token and Medal Society list of mavericks. Your best bet would be to look at old Owensboro city directories. Something like this is going to require local research - it will be a long time before it finds its way onto the Internet!
