Found 13 hard to find tokens at the FUN Show this morning. Unfortunately, by the time I was done with that I was too exhausted to go looking for Art Bars.
Congratulations! That's a nice one, you have pictured. I won't ask about the title of your thread. I probably don't want to know.
Thanks Jody. That's the 5c one and I got a 10c one too. Icky shuffle? That's the silly dance you see football players doing after they score a touch down.
Well, that's great! I love merchant tokens. I collect the ones from my little area of the world. Here's one that I purchased recently. I also picked up the $0.25 denomination. LINK (click here) Yep. I was right.
That's a nice one Jody. It's also got the fancy 50. That's really neat to look at with a loupe. I don't know if they have a name for that type of style but it is neat to look at all that intricacy and try to figure out how in the world the die sinker did it. I'll probably expand into merchants tokens some day. Right now I'm focusing on military. That's what the WETSU token is. It was a club in Pleiku during the Vietnam war. WETSU has two interpretations: 1) We Endeavor To Succeed Universally--(probably the officer version.) 2) We Eat This "Stuff" Up. --(probably facetious troops version.)
Actually, it's a specific dance a spcific Cincinnati Bengals player (Ickey Woods) did after he scored a touchdown. Ickey had a couple of good years and then drifted off into the NFL sunset, but at the time (I think it was the late '80's) he got a lot of press around his touchdown celebrations. Now everyone has their own 'little thing' that they try and make unique. Randy Moss' however, just went a bit too far....
He really should have done that in a road game against the Dolphins. Then all the writers could have fun with "Moon over Miami" puns for weeks...
