Let's see your exonumia!

Oh, I have something similar to yours. It's bronze colored and I think the legend on the obverse is different. I'm away from my collection, otherwise I would post it.

Post it when you get a chance, I would like to see it

 

It will be a couple weeks. I've never researched them before but I have no idea who these Knights are. I bought the token for I think $6 because I thought it was interesting. I was a bit more eclectic with my collecting habits then.

 

Look up Maccabean Revolt, too much to put on here, but the MACABEES are biblical.
The Maccabean Revolt was a conflict, lasting from 167 to 160 BC, between a Judean rebel group known as the Maccabees and the Seleucid Empire.
Antiochus IV Epiphanes was a Greek king of the Seleucid Empire from 175 BC until his death in 164 BC. He was a son of King Antiochus III the Great. His original name was Mithradates (alternative form Mithridates); he assumed the name Antiochus after he ascended the throne.
I hope I'm getting this right, correct me if I'm wrong

 

Here's the pics of my Indian Springs 5-cent token, Jack. I left it in the original 2x2 because of the info on it. You're right, it is a NV10a. I bought this from Paul Cunningham at the Baltimore show in March. He had others in the green 2x2s, which must have all come from the same collection. I should have asked him where he got them, but I didn't think of it at the time. I'll be going to the GSNA show in North Jersey in May, so I can ask him when I see him there.

That one looks good Bruce! I like oddly shaped ones more than round tokens so my opinion is a little biased. He doesn't have any military tokens on his website that I saw. I'm curious Bruce, why did you buy it? This token seems a little outside of your usual collecting habits.

 

Paul has a pretty good selection of military tokens that he takes to coin shows with him, Jack. I've visited his website a couple of times and found that a lot of the stuff that I'm interested in has already been sold. Needless to say, I don't go there anymore.

I asked him about that the next time I saw him and he said that someday he has to go in and clean it up. Apparently, he just doesn't have the time to update things, so he just ignores it.

I was always an eclectic collector buying what caught my attention at the moment About ten years ago I settled down and chose a few areas that I was really interested in...counterstamps, obsolete notes and scrip, and tokens that appealed to me. I liked the look of this token very much and bought it on a whim. I was always interested in Nevada as I spent a bit of time working at the Tonopah Test Site when I was younger. The vastness and emptiness of the state appeals to me in some way.

I suppose old habits die hard so I bought something that I don't really collect. I'm glad I did though.

Oh...oh...Tonopah's history is tightly intwined with ISAA! Thanks Bruce.

Wow Amazing !

 

Ditto

 

Beautiful medal @yarm!

 

A fantasy 1910-dated crown struck in 2000 and featuring the St. George pattern design of AG Wyon on the reverse. The obverse portrait is by Donald Golder. These Retrospective-Pattern (fantasy) pieces from the early 2000s are very well done...and increasingly difficult to find.

 

Where there other metals like Gold and Platinum in this one too??? I remember a set done back then.

 

IT came as a 3 coin set -- Silver, Copper, and Goldine...no gold or platinum that I know of.

 

This is another medal I picked up at the Baltimore coin show a few weeks ago. A decent 57th anniversary ANA show piece from August, 1948. I bought this from Paul Cunningham.

Those are cool. Nice and sharp. The five gets me.
