Those of you Carr-exonumismatists, just HOW COOL is this . . . . . . Had to share, it just came in today. Z
Here is an interesting and inexpensive piece I found . . . . . . I love that it says, "COIN TEST" on both the obverse and reverse. Z
Henry Chanin Corp. East Point Ga. 1.4 grams 25mm, M/A, Hex, aluminium Henry Chanin was in the cotton waste business. Cotton waste comes from processing raw cotton. An example of cotton waste (the only example I actually understand) is "comber waste" or short fibers culled from cotton combing. Someone like Henry would try to sell that waste to be used in products where short fibers may be more viable, such as, maybe, ear swabs, cotton balls or wadding for pill bottles.

Not here yet, it will take a while methinks, but I had to share my latest, purchased late last night. I'll post my own photos in 30+ days when it gets here. Z
