Thanks Ken. The odd-shaped tokens are my favorite. They break up the monotony of just round. Here's a couple more from Roswell:

 

I've finished Alabama, Arkansas, and Arizona. I had some pictures already that were pretty decent so it went quick. Next I need to tackle Loring AFB who put out numerous varieties...I don't feel like dealing with it tonight, it's getting late. Here are a few from the completed states:

 

I got through Maine...which these were all mostly Loring AFB. Here are a few:

 

Snapped off some more photos this morning. Some of the things I need to work at are getting color closer to the token and reducing glare and reflection from bright, uncirculated aluminum tokens. I need better/different bulbs for truer color. I think for the tokens, if I made a way to angle the coin holder it would reduce reflection.

This morning it's been a mixture of states includindg New Jersey, Michigan, and Kansas. Here are a few:

 

Made this last month at the Nevada State Museum in LV. Purposely used a 60’s Memorial with really nice brown patina, I think it turned out cool.

 

same both sides, Rose City Mich.

 

I visited Alaska. I got this and some others from a dealer in Juneau. Just larger than a nickel, out of some lightweight alloy.

 

Likely made from aluminum.

 

That's sweet I do have a sub set collection of elongated cents....btw is that the museum that the "beard of knowlege" runs ?

 

Here's another piece I got in Alaska though it is marked "Seattle" on the 2x2. Silver dollar size, or, I suppose, that of a $20 gold piece. It was described to me as a poker counter. Seems like someone went to a lot of trouble for this and it did see use as there is wear on the head and on the seal. Probably a story here.

 

Cologne, 1730, senatorial tokens (also known as 'wine tokens'). I quote from Numista: Since 1497 every Senator of the City of Cologne gets a Drinking Token after the session. These Token, called "Ratszeichen" (Senator Token) or better "Weinzeichen" (Wine Token) have been minted until 1797. Inside the center is a pip of copper to make a fake more difficult. I think it's silver, not 100% sure (numista won't say). German sites say silver.

 

Nice to see your token. I have one those. Found some info That said its from circa 1925-1956.I seem to remember that someone has a book on Alaskan Tokens.
Only three I got.

 

Is that a Cud at 9 o’clock?
