Troy Tempest Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Not really sure where this should go, just arrived today, my Organisation Todt Britischer Kanalinseln 5RM token. Metal, heavy, measures 65mm by 35mm.
Scowen Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 I hate to be the bringer of bad news but I'm afraid that these are fantasy pieces produced in the 1970's. They have been cropping up all over the place & causing many arguments on the various forums. However any Channel Island collector will tell you that they never existed during the period & none have been found on the islands. Sorry Don
Troy Tempest Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for the info Don, I will let the seller know and I appreciate your help. I have had no problems with the seller before, I'm sure I will get a refund!
J Temple-West Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Quite a few types of bogus Channel Island tokens out there to be careful of..... This link shows how busy the fakers were in the day.... https://sites.google.com/site/malstokens/c-i
Troy Tempest Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Wow John! It's a veritable industry Thanks for additional help mate.
Scowen Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 That's an excellent site John, I shall keep the link to that one for future reference. Thanks for posting it. Cheers Don
