The gilting of the emblem has faded and is now mostly dark gold print that somewhat blends in with the maroon box.This box contains nice high grade specimens of the ¼ dwt and the ½ dwt gold tokens -- the 1 dwt token is not presentThe tokens are as follows: Alaska Gold, 1909, A.Y.P.E.

Both are the typical color for the Miner tokens.All the small gold tokens have become very popular of late but few are seen with the original packaging. I have not determined the varieties of the two gold miners. ’s a chance to acquire an unusual precious metal souvenir from the AYPE.PLEASE NOTE: I have a hard time getting the true color of gold and gilt items to show in my images. Rather than play games with the images in an attempt to hit the actual color, read more
