Let's see your exonumia!

Oh, thanks for the photo compliments. I can never tell if they're too dark. Tokens are a bit "brighter" and can be more forgiving than the ancients.

I bought a dozen Vietnam tokens from him at the 2005 F.U.N show. He's a fantastic hobby ambassador!

 

I only got to talk to him briefly - I was one of many at his table - but he was quite congenial and friendly.

 

Not wrong, Jack, just shows you have your priorities right.

Ya, part of me wouldn't mind ending up on the east coast only to be closer to the shows.

 

Here's another from the Osan collection:


KR1450l, aluminum, red, 37mm. Some or all of the KR1450 series were declared obsolete by 1972.

I took like 14 other photos but wasn't happy with them. Heck, I'm not that happy with this one so I may reshoot.

 

I got the latest Dan Carr "Octagon" at the Denver Coin Expo May 5th:

What happened to your thread on counterstamps?

I can't find it to post to it

 

I don't know, Frank. It's probably better if you post your stuff here though as it gets more exposure. Do you have some new things to show us?

not right now, I'm trying tho

 

Not sure if it is exonumia. Still mine for a few more days.

 

Your definitely in the right place. Anything connected to currency, even remotely, belongs here.

 

Another two that I'm not sure qualify.

 

This one is a little risque.

 

Someone obtained this token in NO in ,1976. But the image was part of a wide spread advertising campaign promoting Mardi Gras in 1968, and is responsible for making Mardi Gras what it is today.

 

Has anyone ever heard of the Square Deal Quarters. They are square quarters in an Art Deco design. There aren't many minted. I've always wanted one and have never seen one, they listed in the book "Unusual Coins of the World" under United States.

 

I have the 5th edition. Anything listed in that book is exonumia. Some would argue even as redeemable currency.

 

Like my liberty dollar. Don't worry I'm aware what happens if I try to pay for something with it, I don't need the unwanted attention of law enforcement.

 

Mike Kittle sold one of the square quarters - he still has the pictures and info on his website in the Hall of Fame section. It was PCGS certified, so they recognize it as exonumia enough to put it in a holder.

 

Having quite a battle tonight trying to get some pictures I can be proud of. Think I squeezed out this one:


KR3620, brass, 21mm. It is not known where this token was used, other than Korea.
