Although on this token the "N" in "GLEN" is backwards, varieties exist in which it is positioned correctly.See TC#282186
The Raleigh-Wyoming Mine in Glen Rogers W.V. was in operation from 1922-1960.
Many coal and lumber tokens were minted by Osborne Coinage, a private minting firm, and they marked their coal pieces with the Orco stamp.
