Thanks Wehwalt, I'll have to look for info on them.

Nice M.A. Root token bq. Root was located at 140 Chestnut from 1847 until 1856 so your token is pre-1860s. In 1856 or 1857 he moved to 144 Chestnut. BTW, the "M.A." stood for Marcus Aurelius...very elegant name for sure. Great bargain bin find for sure. Congrats!

Thanks Bruce, I came across the Fox in a small group of tokens. There were 3 other Boston tokens and a couple patriotics in the group, I'll image them tonight. But I did notice that variation on Chestnut. I've seen others with the correct spelling, like the example bqcoins just posted.

 

It's a small strip that planchets for the 2-pfennig German (Federal Republic) pieces were made from. I bought it from a dealer at a small flea market in Wittenberg, he also had some "cancelled" 2-mark pieces that had gone through the rollers that they use when DM coins that aren't silver are redeemed. Regret not buying them.

 

Here is a medal from Chicago's Century of Progress Fair. I don't plan to wear the buckle but the medal insert was the cause for the purchase. Both are in good condition.

 

That's spectacular sam. Thanks for showing it.

I wonder how many 2 Pfennig clips
made it out of the mint? Nice pick
up Wehwalt.

 

Really neat piece Sam, I have the certificate for that fair. But your medal is really unique.

 

I did a quick search for the Kwacha Copperware Wehwalt but other than finding a few examples of their products on auction sites (no ash trays though) I came up empty.

That had crossed my mind too longnine.

Great medal, the buckle is a low cost quicker assemble one that has no real value at all as the are still selling the same designs. most of them have some screws that hold the bezel in place. they go into the two beads on the sides of the bezel. You can remove the medal if that will suit your purpose better.

 

Quite uncertain what this is or was made/used for. A counterstruck button perhaps?
Came to it through a dealer in England.

 

What little I knew about belt buckles, you have now increased my knowledge ten fold. I might just do that to see what the reverse looks like. Thanks Circus, and thanks to all who gave the likes and the positive comments.

 

I see these type buckles with coins in them they have them in a couple of assorted sizes mostly $.50 $1.00 sizes. They list them in mm's. the people think that they have a big dollar item after all it's in a belt buckle.
I twisted a guy's mind at a flea market by flipping the coin around to the reverse which wasn't worn out, like the obverse from the seat belt rubbing on it! Screwdriver on the multi tool

 

Could it be a mess token from their military, or a game counter. There doesn't seem to be any button attachment points. But then again what I know about foreign tokens can fit on that one

 

Double post

 

1966 Pontiac Coin Club, Pontiac, Michigan, antiqued bronz, M/A, 14.4 grms, 34mm.

 

Often, award medals are engraved on the surface of the medal or around the edge with the recipient's name. This one turned out to have an embossed case instead.

 

This is the reverse of my earlier post of the Century of Progress Medal. I thank Circus for telling me how easy it is to remove the bezel off the buckle. I may have never thought of doing it. It's called a Greenduck dollar and has a catalog number of HK-446. The company name can be seen on the bottom near the rim.
