That is a beautiful medal, Siggi. Funny what the giant is doing with the dragon's nose. Makes you wonder what he's doing with the bull. Probably...
I do remember "Break the Bank", Circus. I don't understand the new Burger King commercials either. Is a stupid plastic...creepy like you...
OK, I guess Bill Murray wouldn't lie.;) Bruce
I wish someone would tell my wife how awesome I am, Jack. She wouldn't believe it, but might give me the benefit of the doubt and give me a...Oh,...
I found out a few things about your apothecary weight, Circus. Although the cursive writing appears to read "3y" (at least to me ), it's actually...
Apothecary weights are neat collectibles, Circus. I wouldn't mind picking up a few at some point. Off hand, I don't know what the "3y" means, but...

I've seen dozens of the Devins & Bolton counterstamps over the years, but for some reason don't have one in my collection. D & B not only stamped...
I doubt it was stamped in an official capacity, but simply by a private person or entity for an obscure purpose. The coin doesn't have to have any...
I love the history on this token and others. It adds so much more to my interest in exonumia. Thanks for posting it, jester. Bruce
An interesting counterstamp, but unfortunately part of it is indistinct. I haven't seen it before. Chris' suggestion is a good one, as it may be...
You don't see many counterstamps on Hard Times Tokens, and the ones you do see are almost always an initial or initials. I could never quite...
