Seller's description:

Going up for auction is my small collection of New Jersey Chapter Pennies. This one is the "Bergen Chapter # 40, RAM"  Hackensack, N.J. Chartered June 18th, 1895. Other side has keystone and member's unique symbol, a fancy letter "R" engraved in the center. Copper, 32 mm. Condition is Fine to Very Fine, with nice chocolate patina. Listed as King # 4131. Check the scan and bid accordingly. This is a great opportunity to add to your own New Jersey collection, or specific Chapter.  See my other Chapter Pennies going on ebay. If you have any questions, please email me at RJerseyDevil@aol.com. I collect Toms River, NJ and other Ocean County NJ items.

It is difficult to acquire these Chapter Pennies because the members of the Fraternity cherish them highly, and do not part with them in their lifetime. The Mark Penny is inscribed with the member's own particular "mark" and placed on record, never to be changed. It remains his "mark" until the day of his death.  The manufactured tokens are made in various metals, silver, copper, bronze, aluminum, etc.


Title says "King # 4040" and the description says "King # 4131"...............?
