I have so many questions. Why was that made? Why did you buy it? Usually you have stuff related to the hobby but this is just a copy. What’s the deal?

 

Same question. And my reading of the law says it's not even a legal "replica": "The minimum total horizontal dimension of the word “COPY” shall be six millimeters (6.0 mm) or not less than one-half of the diameter of the reproduction."

 

A recent win. A lovely gilt brass medal rendered by Godefroid Devreese for a Belgian kennel club. The piece is housed in a large sized NGC holder. Photos from the great collections website.

 

A nice medal and unusual shape, Joshua. I like it.

Why was that made? I guess the seller wanted to make money.
Why did you buy it? I was looking for a inexpensive pocket piece
What’s the deal? I was born in 1944, and 1844 is just to expensive to use as a pocket piece.

A 1920s token I had the pleasure of shooting recently. It is one of a set of three different denominations. 5 cent, 10 cent, and 25 cent.

 

On first glance I thought Slab Wood was some kind of encasement for a man who forgot his wife's birthday:

"well you won't be needing that for awhile."

Turns out slab wood are the side cuts from milled timber. The cuts are usually sold as fire wood and are considered to be lower grade fire wood as they tend to burn erratically.

Ha Ha! Very funny!!
What or how do they make products like Waferboard and Particleboard then? Do you know, just curious since you brought up the subject.

 

I don't know that they did make other products other than staves and lumber.

 

COIN or Convention of International Numismatics. These medals were issued by OIN or Organization of International Numismatists. According to Coin World's Readers Ask OIN began when: "...world coin clubs in California banded together to create the organization ..."

I'm still trying to find out what became of OIN. Or for that matter, what was their publication? They were founded in 1963 and lasted, apparently, until at least 1989. They must've had a publication.
