1915 CA HK-399 PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION SILVER

 

Hi all, some great stuff everyones been posting. Here's another French Medal I have, by Rivet. Love this portrait...

 

same both sides

 

Hard not to love that medal!

 

British Historical Medal 304 (which also found its way into Dalton & Hamer as Middlesex 184 bis 1). White metal, 32mm.

 

The coin I lost was a 1950's 2 florin with a "1690" stamp; nothing obscure or expensive, luckily.

That engraved George III penny is great, thanks for sharing! Have you acquired any other anti-Catholic counterstamps/engravings of a similar age? So interesting . . . Both my wife and I come from Catholic families (1/2 Catholic for me) and love exploring Church history; that despite an emotional detachment.

Not knowing much about Irish history, I hadn't appreciated how far back the extreme animosity went. Wow.

 

same both sides

 

BHM 599, 46mm, Victories of the Year. This medal probably refers in general terms to the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. NGC MS64BN.

Wonderful!

 

I have one of these already, but this one is a definite upgrade - not listed in Lipscomb with the periods ("B. and B."). I travel to Willard frequently for work, so this one holds a special place.

 

What I love about buying bulk bags is you never know what piece of history may turn up.Bought a mixed bag of junk silver, nickles,pennies,Canadian coins, Foreign and tokens. Looking at the stuff in the bag. It would be worth the asking price. with the money and tokens I could see.


This one was a medal commemorating the king and Queens 1939 visit to Canada to drum up support for the coming world war.
It was made in two sizes and in bronze and silver, this one is the small size 26 mm, worth about a dollar due to how many were made and sold.

 

I keep this as a reminder to look close at coins I purchase. I consider it part of my exonumia.

 

Not sure if this falls into the category, buy I also collect vintage watches. So this neat Bulova Clock with the St. Gaudens design was cool to me.
Well I can't link my picture in and I can't delete my post now, so sorry, no pic. I tried copying it from photobucket, didn't work.

 

Alot of things can fall into two and more catagory of collections. Question is what collection do you consider it a part of. I would like to see it anyway.

 

I think if it has a tie in no matter how slim to monetary related it is considered exonumia. From stickers/decals used on coins to dog licenses, the mini license plate key chain tags from the 50's thru the early 70's crematory tokens used to keep track of the bodies and ashes. To the casino industry chips, tokens, dice and the canceled decks of cards, religious medals, work related award pins etc.
