This die variety, similar to ASRF-3 & 4, has a different style than ASRF-1 & 2, ASRF-1/2, which suggests a different engraver. The die variety was not known either to Jay Roe (1990) or Mike Locke (2001). The edge is reeded. Alaska TooWah tokens known prior to 2000 invariably have a plain edge.

Pick-Up Points

The nose differs from other varieties.
