    A little bit of everything. Always fun to find these. The Ericsson I got from my youngest brother. He spent several years in Sweden working for Ericsson. They sent him home to Carolina for a while and he was able to watch this game live at the stadium. After that they shipped him to Montreal for a few years.

    That's a nice set Sonlarson!

    Does anyone have any Jagermeister tokens with the deer?

    Here's a few more, I barely won the Civil War Token off ebay so these are the sellers pics. :thumb: I love the dude with the hunchback, but I really doubt he's from Notre Dame. :D

    Conder, Did someone named Eklund also author catalogs on coal tokens? Mine are by Edkins. Just checking if their are other references out there that I do not have yet. Another coal ref. that I have is "20,000 Coal Company Stores" by Gordon Dodrill (1971), and the related topic of Explosive Control Tokens by David Schenckman (1989). I like Dodrill's ref. in that it provides years of operation for the mine, number of employees, and a value (although outdated). Collecting coal tokens, as I find with most tokens, is quite interesting. I don't have an extensive collection, only in the 2-300 range, but they are in the top half of my list of favorites.

    I like serious die cracks. I have over a dozen of the Broas Brothers tokens, showing the progression of the damage, and some of the later ones show a doubled impression of the Indian Head strike on the reverse.

    My favorite from my political token collection. This is from the 1860 campaign, before Lincoln grew his beard.

    Regular issue coin transformed into a Civil War Token (LA670A-1do). Far from attractive, but worth some big bucks.

    I love the patriotic tokens. This is my first one. I'll be hunting for more soon!

    I was wrong about the authors name. I was working from memory and I confused Edkins (Coal Scrip) with Eklund (German notgeld tokens)

    We have a Jagermeister shot dispenser. The use of this dispenser is normally limited to the late night soiree when nobody is driving home.
