A few items that stuck out as I downloaded Photobucket images for transfer elsewhere.

 

Yep there is a large migration from the PhotoSucs to other venues wonder if they will unprofitly regret their decision

 

Thank you Circus. I look at this thread every morning because I know you have something new to add.

 

Pick-in have been pretty slim of late The local pawn shops seemed to quit buying the limited editions silver casino chips. Was told I am the only one that has showed interest, I have all the non dupes they have had. Also the tokens have been slim I do have some that need to be photo'd, along with the 300 Mardis Gras throws, and some Franklin mint bar collection of America's moments!

 

Well that ends my collection of clay chips. I did come across 5 clay chips of an interesting nature a couple of weeks ago @ the LCS. The next 5 clay chips are all one sided and from a poker room supplier. Advertising chips

 

Seller's pictures - I pulled the trigger on this early (possibly the earliest) Civil War token, struck (really counterstruck) on a repurposed 1859 Indian Cent. This example is in the usual condition, but is made more interesting by the lamination - I imagine that the counterstrike broke free an already loose section of the planchet. I'm glad to give this little guy a home.

 

Had a little premium over spot. The relief is quite amazing on both sides.
Medalic art co. .999 #425

 

This example is better struck than most I've seen. Although a controversial CWT, I'm glad it's remained included in the series. There's a newly written article on these in this month's summer edition of the CWTS journal. One of these was what got me started, collecting counterstamps, about forty years ago.

 

I haven't seen the Summer CWTS journal yet - maybe it's waiting in the mailbox! I'll be sure to check it out.

 

I just got this one in the mail. I had no idea what it was, but I like the sighthound dog.

Thanks to some posts on another thread I have found out it's Harpocrates with the gesture of the finger to the mouth being interpreted as silence. But, originally had more to do with looking like the hieroglyph for child in Egypt (the child Horus).

I suspect it is used here for some German saying about keeping your lips zipped. The German can be translated via google, but somehow I'm guessing there is a particular meaning, but am unversed in German sayings.

 

Some tokens started to trickle in to the LCS, some interesting items turned up

 

One of a set of 48 medals by Thomason based on the Elgin Marbles.

 

@Circus check out eBay seller cashcoin. He's a numismatist who largely sells casino chips and military trade tokens.

 

I am presently looking at a supposed, City of Franklin, Medal awarded to the top student of the city, this one I believe was awarded to Jt. Thompson, (May not be correct). But this token if correct should be dated around 1803 to 1804, Silver about the size of a Half dollar. If you Know anything about this medal please pm me!
Thank you
Phil
