Let's see your exonumia!

The Army was there according to Cunningham.
But he also lists W.A.F.B versions without
counter-stamps. But there is no way of knowing if they just
didn't bother to stamp all of them or if they're
pieces saved by Air Force personnel. But
what you have is a legit counter-stamp.
Congratulations!

Thanks again for the info.

Ya for a recognized counter-stamp!

 

Relic medal, supposedly made from
propeller of the Olympia. M/A, 31mm,
13.6mm. USS Olympia was Admiral
Dewey's flagship at the battle of Manila
Bay.

 

Here's an unusual coin club "medal" I won on eBay about a week ago. It's actually stamped on leather which is rarely used for these things. The only other one I have in my collection is a 1936 issue from the Detroit Coin Club. This Crescent City Coin Club piece is in excellent condition so has been taken care of over the years. The 1964 date is probably the year the club was founded and not the year the token was issued.

Sonic Boom Coin Club 1959
Fort Walton Beach Fla.
Brass, C/A, 12.4 grms, 35mm
1959 would have been when
the F-101 Voodoo ruled the
Skies. That aircraft just totally
rocked. I used to watch them
as kid run intercepts from
W.Hampton AFB.

 

That leather coin club metal is interesting!

 

Bridge Token, Triborough, NYC,
Copper, M/A 8.1 grms, 29mm
I don't know squat about bridge
or transportation tokens, but
I liked it and it only cost $2.

Medal by Elkington, 77mm, Colonial & Indian Reception, 1886.. Listed as BHM #3214, 1886.

 

Beautiful looking medal!

 

Always wanted a Bar cent this copy had to do

 

Where do you find these at? What a stunner!

 

I'm a sucker for random exonumia that catches my eye and is really affordable.

 

I was once fascinated with Steampunk. One
time I bought a Steampunk button
because I couldn't find a token
or medal with that theme. It never
occurred to me that it was
meant to be a button. Doooh.
So one side looks great and
other has a big loop sticking
out of it.

 

Stonewall Jackson Coin Club
Clarksburg, West Virginia
M/A, copper, 8.3 grms,
27mm Stonewall was born in
Clarksburg. The old boy must've
thrown a rod when WV became
a union state.

Do coin clubs still have medals made? I don't belong to one...or know anyone in one.

 

They still do Jwt but not like in past years. Mostly just the larger clubs issue medals because of the expense involved. Many clubs issue wooden money these days to advertise anniversaries, coin shows, etc. Rolled cents are popular forms of coin club exonumia also because it's a relatively inexpensive way to advertise an event.

Thanks Bruce!

 

Yes, but a lot them seem to be going
with woods.
