There's a lot of stuff that I wish I'd bought and kept when I worked in a bank in the 1960s. But you have to remember that buying a blue seal $10...
I don't get to see him often now. He has several books about his life. You can google or search Amazon for Fred Gray, Sr. He and my dad and one...
I was particularly interested in the Rosa Parks connection because, while I never personally met her, I have known her lawyer for over 50 years...
Well, it ought to be nickle, either that or change pickle to pickel. (I notice my spell check thinks nickle is fine.)
I took a different tack. Instead of researching the token, I researched the Montgomery Transit Lines. I was interested in if my token was in use...
I like that on the Apollo landing token they actually got the quote right, which is quite rare.
Thanks for the reference! However, they don't give much information, and neither they nor Numista have my token. Mine has what I take to be a...
Thanks. They don't give much information about the tokens, and they don't have one like mine. Not only is the bus on theirs a mere outline, but...
If you want to make money investing in copper, buy stock in companies that produce it. I'm not saying that is in any way a good investment, but...
I'm interested in the history of your tokens. Any idea when they were made, especially the Alabama bus tokens? Is there a link to where I could...
Very uncommon in circulation, but it happens. I have maybe three or four that either I found over the years or a friend did and thought I'd like...
True, but why would they offer, or anyone want, a newer label unless somehow, somewhere, someone had caused a loss in confidence in the older...
I'm guessing it went as a MS-65, but possibly a bit more.
Let us know how it comes out. I have several aluminum coins I'd like to look better, but I am not aware of any way to do it without making the...
Sounds like there's been a bunch of fakes using their older holders.
One way to tell it's die deterioration or machine doubling rather than true doubled die is that the mint mark is affected. In those days, unless...
The widow I mentioned received it as a gift from an elderly and disabled couple whom she took care of, both of whom recently died. Before he died...
I think it is 64. I don't think the flatness above the ear is wear. It looks like weakness in the strike to me.
I use my Red Book a lot, and it has a great deal of information in it. Unfortunately my most recent one is 1991, which is not much use for...
Thanks for the info. I do grade my stuff, but I wanted a second, more expert opinion. I had it pegged at G-6, but I'm really out of my league...
Separate names with a comma.
