Very nice.:thumb: I know I don't have to tell you to take good care of that memory. I would carefully put it in an archival safe flip & attach that to the original paper envelope.

 

ok here is a picture of that half dollar with the counterstamp I promised.

 

Anyone whom like boats and nickels is OK by me! Nice looking pick up as well a nice looking boat sold mine years ago and still miss her....still got my kayak thro.

 

Thank you I had 2 elongated cents as a kid this one and one of S.S. Morro Castle from Asbury Park NJ I still have both and both have wonderful color as you can see.

 

Picked these up at a shop that doesn't care about anything not gold or silver. The treasury token is 1919 and the worlds fair was 1939. If you can't read it, the treasury token says "Awarded by the U.S. Treasury department for patriotic service in behalf of the liberty loans. Made from captured German cannon" Paid a dollar each.

 

Way Kool Jerry.

 

glad you liked it. I am not really a counterstamp or half dollar collector so if anybody on here wants this coin for their collection let me know!

 

Nice looking half.

 

dt menace ... Thats a nice encased lucky penny. I have a few old very large Lucky Nickels. I should post them here.
These are pretty large, I have two big Jeffersons that are the same, you can see the size as there is a Jefferson in the 2x2 plastic here to show scale. Below I show the older ones in better detail alone. I like when I can get these fairly cheap, under $10.00 is a good price I suppose. I can find them in quite a few varieties from the early 1900's before the depression.

1945 Magdeburg Comemmorative (wax?) Tablet



~104mm; 71gm

All I can read is 1945, Magdeburg, and the word 'Faksimile'. The reverse central symbol is vaguely familiar, but I cannot place it.

It appears to be pressed hard wax, or perhaps a simple plastic: It's fairly soft, though not as soft as a candle.

Translations most welcome; if any of you know some history of this item, please share. Thanks!

I've been informed the material is clay.

I've had it for 25 years or so...it just turned up again, with a bunch of other things for this thread.

 

I have no idea what this 3/4 inch brass token is but I like it.
I am guessing maybe some sort of gaming token or arcade token.
Do you have one of these? If so, what is it?

 

That is magnificent! Silver? How large?

Puts my stuff to shame.

 

It is silver. It's about 2" X 2.5".
The one below is a bit larger,
