Do you have a photo of the obverse?

Chris

 

No.

 

I suspect there's a dead eagle that has been crushed by that bell.

 

So you bought a coin that you don't know what the obverse looks like?

I have some land in Louisiana you interested in buying?

 

I have 1 like that. pics when I get home tonight

 

What do you expect from a Browns fan?

Actually, it was Rick who said "No" to the question, "Like it?".

 

Could this be the Obverse?

 

Lol, I had to go back & read that a couple times. Didn't even notice Rick replied with the "no"

 

punch thru, novelty item

 

no, scroll down

 

Haha.. I know it's not. I was just showing you a similar novelty coin I have seen many times on the web

 

I call them "pop out" coins.

 

Technical name is reposse coins.

That really isn't correct though because reposse is the creation of a three dimensional image in metal buy hammering it into a mold or die from the back. In the case of these coins it is a single pressing of a shaped punch into the correspondingly shaped die. It is really more like embossing than reposse.

 

Wow, that's REALLY creepy. In fact, it's almost as creepy as, well, err, umm, most of the Presidential dollars.

 

I,ll give you 40 cents for it but you pay the shipping!

 

I also call them "pop-outs".

Barber coinage actually look kinda nice done like that.

 

here are my pop out coins collection so far ...

 

more pop out coins...
