Let's see your exonumia!

The Wolfeboro piece has me wondering
now. Did Jim Ruddy ever issue an Ad piece
for the country store he opened after he
he left Bowers and Ruddy?

Like your rolled cents dwhiz. I like the fact that you can see some of the design elements of the coin itself. Can you make out the dates of the Lincoln Cents...I can't tell from the pictures.

Nice ones dwhiz. Are you going to post those on the elongated thread?

That's what happens when you reach a certain age you forget sometimes. By the way I'm 69

 

Coin of the month Club.
CSA commemorative medal.
C/A, proof, (I hate proofs),
German silver, 12.4 grms, 33mm

I have more info on this that I
got from Eric von Klinger when
he was doing Readers Ask
in CoinWorld. I'll post it as soon
as I find it.

 

Coin-of-the-month club.

According to Eric von Klinger, who I'm
paraphrasing, the medal was issued by
Merle Thiele of Sioux Falls, S.D.
Thiele was upset that there were no
commemorative coins, while stamp
collectors got lot's of commemorative
stamps. So he decided to issue his own
and the Coin-of-the-month club would
issue commemoratives on a regulat basis.
However: "Nothing more about this
venture was found in Coin World's news
archives."


My note: So, this issue may be the only hurrah
for the Coin-of-the-month club.

I hope this guy is stiill arround to see
the commemorative zoo.

 

Store card and a so-called dollar

 

AWESOME CHIPS

 

Alien quarter. This is supposed be
Over-struck on a regular quarter. But
below the neck, upside down are very
shallow digits/letters that say: "1846
Education Foundation." I have no idea what
that is about. Maybe it's a secret message
From "Bob" Dobbs-"Gimme slack." ?
