Don't remember when I bought this or what I paid. I guess '70's and maybe $20 or so.. one cent cancelled die.

 

The 30 toms of silver dollars displayed, That must have been a sight!

 

Your wooden nickel reminds me that I should post some photos from my own exonumia collection. I have a thematic collection of Canadian coins, pictured on exonumia (medals, wooden nickels, etc.)...

 

1876 medal for the International Centennial Exhibition in Phildelphia. Cased, 77mm, 264gms by H.Mitchell. I've yet to explore the seated imagery.

 

Nice Yarm!

 

I don't know if this is exonumia or not, but it has something to do with coins so here goes. I only have a few examples of these old currency reproduction advertising notes in my collection. I haven't seen a lot over the years so it seems they're pretty scare.

Well I got some in today, first the one that I have tried to get information on with no luck really. I want to know what the design means, what is the meaning of Isaiah and the Angel.


**** If anyone knows anything about this I would be grateful, the history and such. I think it was the Franklin Mint but I am not sure as GoogleFoo has let me down.******

 

Next up a pure bullion buy but it is very nice. I like the exonumia!

 

And last but not least, a pure pure bullion buy but neat nonetheless!

 

Here you go, old testament in the bible, it was celebrating the Jewish prophets.http://www.easyenglish.info/bible-outline/isaiah-summary.htm

 

Oh I know the book well as I have probably 20 versions but I can not find any information about this particular medal and what the significance of the Angel is. I thought I know scripture fairly well but this one eludes me. Usually you can find the medal designers intent, but on this one I draw a blank. Thanks for the link though as it reminds me of some of my favorite parts that predict things. I have to stop there as it is a coin forum...

That druid rocks Yarm!!!!

 

Here is an electrotype that is one the way to me. I'm stoked and can't wait

 

That one looks like a Conder token...edit: The obverse design looks like a Conder token.

 

Here are a couple more,

Most probably know from his TV adverts for his housing developments.

 

Just ordered these

 

As coin club medals go, this is a pretty old one ... 1941. The heyday for this type of exonumia was from the 1960s thru the 1980s. There are still a lot of modern issues but not like in the "old days". I like the way the design pops out at you, especially the ear of corn. The name "J.H. Ripstra" appears in very small type below "Davenport" on the reverse and is, I would think, the name of the die cutter or designer. I'll have to look into it.
