The all-time classic encased cent (1905, uncirc), from the Majestic Saloon run by S.F. Bean. We sold one from the Schilling Collection and one other that came out of the woodwork over the past twenty years. Listed in Schilling's New mexico book because it is technically a one cent token, it is not in Kiser's book. The Majestic also made a coffin shaped token, again one of the all time great American tokens. This piece has a history. It was originally obtained by Charles "Jake" Davis (1872-1955), perhaps from the Majestic saloon itself in 1905. Davis fought in the Spanish War in 1899. After the war he lived in Colorado, then to Truth or Consequences.The token has been in his family since (Conn Davis Collection). Davis enjoyed collecting coins from the US and from the Philippines when he served there. City: Las Cruces State: New Mexico Date: 1905 HWAC# 27841
