Round, copper, 31mm, Walter A. Lord Co-Jeweler. There is some confusion among collectors about this token. One should understand that they were all struck by the token mfg. co., sans the gold nugget. In 1923, after the Anchorage jeweler, Walter A. Lord Co., received them, he then soldered on the gold nuggets that he acquired from the many local miners. He also added a loop on some, so that the customer had a choice. This was just good business sense. That means these tokens were originally issued in two styles, with the loop and without. The presence of a loop does not necessarily mean that the token has been altered from its original issued form. (from TokenCatalog.com) Date: Location: Anchorage, Alaska HWAC# 59556
