Here's an interesting excerpt from John Mutch's article on "maverick" tokens - those whose issuer and place of issuance are unknown, at least until some new research is done. As a bonus, Greg sent images of the token itself, which were not printed in this issue, but appeared in 2011 when originally listed/numbered as a maverick.
