Well it says true tonsil stones, Tonsilloliths, can only be formed in someone WITH their tonsils still in place. So my guess is you are coughing up old mucous formed some other way. You might want to get this checked.

(What is a tonsillolith? Tonsilloliths, also known as tonsil stones, are irregularly shaped, whitish/yellow, foul-smelling globs of mucus and bacteria that get caught in the back of the throat. They form in the tonsil crypts which are simply small pockets or divots that appear in everyones tonsils. The scientific name for these white globs is tonsilloliths.)
