Let's see your exonumia!

Yep, got that one. It's a very good book with full color pictures of all the MPCs...oddly I can't remember off the top of my head how well the POGs were covered. I know he included them in his cataloging system along with MPCs in the book, though I prefered the system of the now defunct (sadly) aafeespog.com

Here is the Presidential Medal currently contained in the Eisenhower Coin and Chronicles set. It's a beautiful medal with the obverse depicting a portrait of 'Ike' facing left, along with the inscription 'Dwight D. Eisenhower'. The designers name (Gilroy Roberts) resides at the base of the portrait. The reverse of the medal features the 'Figure of Freedom' which stands on the capital dome in Washington DC. The scenes portrayed on either side of the figure (right) represent the eastern US with a farmer and city buildings beyond the hill and (left) represent the pioneering spirit of our forefathers. The inscriptions read 'Inaugurated President January 20, 1953' and 'United States of America'. The designers name (Frank Gasparro) is seen at the base of the statue beneath the inscription 'Liberty'.

 

Esnhower chroicnils is one nice set.
Should be hot buying wise.

 

Cornell University Hotel School token.

 

Corning Glass Center token, I think I made this from a machine in the 90s.

 

Coyote Loco bar token, Ithaca, NY. Wooden. No idea of year.

 

That's a beautiful medal, Ken. I like the portrait of Eisenhower much better than the one on the dollar coin. I always thought the Ike dollar was UGLY!

Bruce

 

Especially the one that came in the 'set' Bruce........no matter what I do I can't seem to make this (reverse proof) look good.



Kind of reminds me of Al Jolson........

 

Arcade tokens, 90s era

 

Got this today. Norfolk Coin Club, Norfolk, Nebraska. 12.5 grms, 33.5mm, M/A, antiqued bronze.

I could not find an exonumia term or classification for a medal or token showing a city in a state where you would not expect to see such a name.
So, I think I'll call them Wayward Sons.

 

My Great (Maybe another Great) Grandfather was one of the designers of the Nebraska Capital Building. Very cool coin

 

This is the start of box Number 3

plastic same both sides now there are printed on cardboard.


It appears that somebody really didn't like the person on the obverse of the coin, as the damage is confind to the face

And of course the coy of an old coin.

 

Can anyone give me any information on this one?
1845 Great Britain Medal Sir I.M. Brunel
Opening of the Thames Tunnel 1845 24 mm Bronze.
How Rare and a value Thanks.

 

It appears to be, an advertising piece From the copy on the one side about the publisher of this and other medals. Probably made the opening day medal that was passed when the tunnel was opened. Got to love the address of the maker Change Alley, London. Don't know much else other than about Brunel read a couple of books on him. He was an amazing engineer. As was his son the tunnel is still in use, as is the entrance stair case building, which has been modified into a concert venue. The tunnel and entraceway have been in a number of TV and Films. Very nice medal!

 

Thanks Circus any idea as how rare or value?

 

You got me curious so I googled medals on the subject, there appears to be numerous versions of the medal along with versions by griffin. So that leads me to believe that they aren't as rare as the people selling them on the bay think. Looking at the price spread they are asking for them, from single digits to mid 3 digit numbers in pounds. It also appears that none of the sold or sold yet as the dates are current to Sept.
