4. An act of (Bi-metallic) kindness......by Charley Nash, USA Members of the WBCC should
know Jack Hepler (WBCC member 47) as the person who is responsible for
the weekly Quiz Game. I am a new member and contacted Jack on a concern of the club. He replied and asked me about
my interest. I told him I was a coin collector for over 20 years and was now interested in Bi-metallic coins but
limited to coins of Year 2000 or before. Jack picked up on my interest
and offered his surplus of Bi-metallic coins by just paying the
postage. I took up his offer and the
coins were received. Looking over the coins I was able to obtain 6
coins. They were a 1998
2 Pound coin from Jack”s kindness impressed me. I was a total stranger but he reached out to a fellow member. All I can say to Jack is thank you it is appreciated. Wish there were more people like him. 5.

Anderson, USA
This Bi-metallic market tally or token is from the London market of Boro or Borough. It was issued by Alexander Davidson, but its exact date is unknown, since Davidson does not appear in any catalogue of those market tokens. He must have been some sort of produce salesman. Note the brass "D" inserted into the middle of the copper flan. 8.
