Let's see your exonumia!

I have a question about something I saw and was wondering what if anything I could find out about these? It says they are re strikes but I have only heard of Bashlows and these don't look like those.

I think you are going to have to upload some better pictures - I can't even begin to work out what these are from that pic!

 

they will put anything on silver rounds/bars


LCS buys his silver rounds and art bars from a wholesaler when they don't come in off the street. Its by the number of ounces he wants and has no choice in subject matter. mostly they are assorted sell backs and slow moving stock from assorted mints.
Don't know what the point of this round was intended for or if it was one made up of two different purpose dies to get mileage out of them

 

Looks like counterfeit cheap imitation to me

 

No problem I will find a better picture. Like I said it just a curiosity that I would like to find out about.

 

@PaddyB maybe this one will help. I don't believe they are counterfeits but some kind of souvenir.

 

Copy made in south in 1961-1964. I have seen them before and have the cent it was made in Alabama. Sold to tourist attraction mainly.

 

Sorry I posted it twice I though was making it larger

 

Thanks! Not really my area but it looks like a tourist copy to me. I think they took some licence with the use of the "re-strike" term. "Replica" or "Copy" would be more accurate.

 

I was thinking the same thing because it said the original dies were in the Smithsonian. I'd like to see some in hand to see the quality before I spent any money on them. The one's I've seen for sale are cheap but price and quality still go together regardless of how cheap they are.

 

If the light in the kitchen is on I am awake.
I'm the garage.

 

Kingsport, Tennesseee transit token
Brass, M/A, 23mm, 3.6grms I don't know the C.T.C means. Maybe City (or county) Transit Company?

 

They left the Inc. off neither in the Atwood or Token catalog does it give another filled in explanation

 

Here's a picture of every counterstamped coin I've picked out of circulation over the years:



Top right is one of the common moonlanding counterstamps, in great condition.
Bottom three are state stamps. I've wanted to find a Masonic counterstamp for a long time but haven't had luck doing so.

 

Very worn and undated, but I liked the Masonic stamp on this Coronet Head Large Cent. Only cost two or three bucks:




Also, I've become interested in counterstamped coins from Luxembourg and, though the coin pictured below isn't particularly interesting, I acquired it for just two dollars and like it just for being my first counterstamped piece from little Luxembourg.





Looks to be some verdigris starting on the surface. This is an 1865 10 centimes.
