This is an interesting piece of coin club exonumia I picked up this past week. I've never seen a combined wooden flat and elongated coin together...
You have some nice stickered coins, dwhiz. The history behind this one makes it special. For something like this, maybe 200 surviving pieces seems...
Here's the two ID badges I have, dwhiz. I may have posted these before, but I'm not sure. The Bush piece is both engraved and counterstamped....
I have a couple of counterstamped coins that were used as Railroad ID, but they were more "homemade" than yours. This is a really nice one. I'll...
That's unusual, dwhiz. I don't think I ever saw a potty dime before. Bruce
That's impressive, dwhiz. I like it very much Here's two of mine I came across...both coin related and a lot newer than yours. I may have another...
A nice coin, Muryck! Bruce

Thanks, Muzyck. An interesting story. Bruce
Do you have any history on this piece, Muzyck? I like it. Bruce
That's called a counterstamp, Niihauboy21. Someone punched it on the coin for whatever reason. Bruce
Thanks for the translation on the Evans counterstamp, Bill. The other English stamp on an American coin that I know of is a Charles Congreve...
Some nice counterstamps, Bill. It's too bad about the graffiti on the Pike coin, but since there's only a few examples known,it's not a big deal....
I would think it's a bit unusual to find these in change anymore. Years ago it was very common, as tens of thousands of coins were stamped with...
The link rickmp provides above pretty much tells the story, Laurakai. Since RIRA was the last major paramilitary of any significance formed,...
Thanks, Colonialjohn. I'll have to look again. Bruce
