Lord Baltimore Denarium, struck 1860 by W. Idler, Philadelphia
This is a copper-nickel example, non-magnetic, weight 3.75gr. These tokens, struck for the Philadelphia Coin Dealer William Idler in 1860, are in hommage to the "Seventeenth Century Pattern Pennies of Maryland". Idler's Tokens were produced in copper, like the originals, and also in silver, brass, white metal, nickel & copper nickel. It appears that the copper-nickel examples are quite scarce. Grades a nice AU.
