Scowen Posted July 5, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted July 5, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
