Let's see your exonumia!

That's a sequential menu methinks. Gotta go through items #1 & 2 to get to #3.

You ain't getting out of there for less than $6, not including the "tip" . . .

You got it right I don't think brothels are legal in Dodge city either then or now!

I'm pretty excited about this recent arrival.

At first I feared that I massively overpaid for it. After doing a little research on it, I know that I only significantly overpaid.

I haven't seen many in this condition and unholed. Most were worn on a chain or medal pin.

1883 Knights Templar Triennial Conclave Gathering medal. Julian RF-9, minted by the Philadelphia Mint, 5,000 originally made, most holed and worn as medals.

This one unholed and as original as I have seen. The location template for drilling the hole can be seen as engraved into the obverse die.

Can't let this thread die. It's been dormant for too long and has dropped from my alerts feed.

Here's a real MONSTER of a medal . . . . . . . .

This is a duplicate for me but I love these big chunky tokens.

I just came to the realization (yeah, I'm slow - short bus slow) that 99.5% of my "acquistions" are exonumia.

I've got to improve my acquisition rate . . .

New piece - a challenge coin.

 

I picked the remains of Edgewood Coin Shop

 

Definitely one of the best 3-4 I have seen that are equal in condition. I don't know what you paid. It is worth any perceived uptick that you think you may have laid on the table. I am impressed.

 

Sending you a private message . . . . . .

 

Well, that didn't work. Send me a message that I can reply to charley, but I basically said the following. I might as well do it in the open forum . . . . . . :

Truth be told, I have NO IDEA what one of those medals is worth.

Knowing that is is listed by Julian and minted in Philadelphia bolsters my confidence that I didn't make a "stupid" purchase.

I'll tell you what I paid for it, but I would first LOVE to hear what you think it's value is.

Second teaser: I found an purchased another Knights Templar medal of similar vintage earlier this week. I'll post photos of it when it arrives as well. It's a different design, equal or better condition.​

No idea why it didn't woik, and I think somebody else mentioned this a month or so ago. The only pm I have got, the only one, was this morning (or maybe last night) letting me knw I had a political post moved to another political thread because it was political I still don't have any idea what that was about.

Anyway, value: to me and what I would not fall off a chair if somebody asked $150-$300. I of course want to see it in hand to verify. Not many survivors in that condition. There are some knockoffs out there. Then again, I have seen a Palmer sell for $2,500.
