A few that came back from the plastic factory. I really like that the first one got a CAMEO. MS68 no less

 

You 'know' that it is "it's super rare" yet want info from us?

How do you know it is super rare?

 

I have that also, neat item.

I got it from Cline when I had him sign a book for me.

 

This is my avatar: USS Constellation, Philadelphia Mint 1972, silver, m/a, 32mm, 19.6 grms.

According to a newsletter published by the Raleigh Coin Club ( Sept. 1997) Per Mare Invictus Mano is Latin for: At Sea I Was Invincible. Also, the medal was designed by Donald F. Stewart of the Constellation Restoration Commitee. The dies were engraved by Sherl J. Winter of the Philadelphia Mint.

It's super rare to find both the top piece and bottom piece together and that's just my opinion from seeing a few of these on ebay and elsewhere. They don't sell for much but I don't think that has anything to do with the rarity factor, I think it has to do with demand. Sure I want information, especially from a medal person. Please, educate me.

 

Found this metal detecting back in the 70's. A lot of these have the date on them but this one does not. It is probably from 1890 as No.199 is dated 1889 and No. 201 is dated 1891. It's the size of a half dollar.

Found this metal detecting also. These were issued in 1910 to 1914. Excelsior Shoe Co. Tokens. Size is slightly larger than a half dollar.

I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, but I found this metal detecting an older house in the mid 70's. The house was having the wooden front porch replace and when I first found it, it still have dirt on it and my first thought was GOLD. I didn't touch it until I went home and washed it off with water and then, that's when I saw it was a gold plated 1903 V nickel. What a let down. The only reason I can think why someone would plate a V nickel of this date was to try and pass it off as a $5 gold coin.

 

This appears to have been gold gilded at one time as traces still remain. Found metal detecting.

 

Yes nice one!!! I Wonder what all of it looked like 101 years ago.?

 

Maybe something like this, except better without the dark sections.

 

Doesn't look that bad that night at ole Phan Rang.

 

I've been picking up Coin shop related store cards whenever I see one that strikes my fancy.
Just received this one today. Nice heavy brass and the size of a silver dollar.
I just think they're neat and gives me something to do in between my other Coin purchases.
I'm trying to find one from Kevin Lipton but so far no luck.

Yea...I know! I gotta dust that table! UGH.

 

Sector I'm recalling was off Base 1969 Club Goa trang ?? Was nice but $5 GI was often heard with music. Did Not get a token.

 

If ya do this, no one will ever know........

 

Haven't added anything in a while, so here is something I acquired in my youth.

 

B. Max Mehl was a Texas coin dealer who ran a shop in the 1930's and 1940's.

In 1944 he sold a 1933 double eagle ($20 gold) to Egypt's King Farouk, which created a huge amount of paperwork for the US government.
