Here is an interesting wooden half dollar, It almost looks home made.It is twice the thickness of the others,it also is made from pine and the imprints looks rubber stamped. Plus it is political in nature.

 

Here is a new age style advetising encased coin, a half penny it is in a aluminum foil over plastic materiel bends very easily

 

Here is the other sticker I used, I just noticed it was stuck on my monitor stand so I pealed it off and put it on a Peace dollar.

 

Dug this up yesterday. It's the size of an Ike dollar and weighs 21.7g.

 

Phu Bai Manor: brass, 4.7 grams, 21mm, C/A VN3630, same both sides. "212th Aviation Battalion was initially part of the provisional Falcon Aviation Group out of Da Nang, became part the 16th Aviation group in Jan. 1968 and transferred to the 11th Aviation Group in July 1971. It provided fixed wing aviation support to the 1 CTZ area " [ 1 CTZ=1 Corp Tactical Zone or I Corp. or the northern most region of South Vietnam] Captain Shelby Stanton: Vietnam Order of Battle.

Everything I came across on the "information highway" about the 212th seems to be a rehash or even a direct quote, without credit, of Stanton. I cannot even find what fixed-wing aircraft they had. I suppose they were OV-10 Broncos and/or OV-1 Mohawks as those were the Army's ground attack aircraft.

 

I'll look in Bows' tonight.

 

Thanks

Apparently they had Mohawks at Phu Bai Airfield. It also appears that there was some friction going on between the Air Force and the Army over the Army's use of fixed-wing aircraft.
