I also think you did quite well, H8. I really like the old George Washington medal. Bruce
Hey, Numismat, who's the guy with the fancy hat?:confused: Bruce
YIKES!!!:eek:
Oh well, we'll overlook that, Jack. A great guy for sure.:) Bruce
Love the medal, yarm. The bezel is special too with the fancy edge engraving. It does look to be white medal or possibly pewter. I always liked...
Now that's what I call first-rate railroad exonumia, dwhiz. Beautiful workmanship with a wonderful look. Bruce
You bring up some interesting points, Numismat. My feeling in regard to the wear patterns are that the stamp, in my estimation, likely dates to...
If you're interested in selling your Swan counterstamp, George, send me a p/m. I'll make a decent offer for it. Bruce
Nice, Frank! Looks like Lady Liberty is ready to go out on the town. She's got a fancy set of earrings on, her hair's all curled up, and she's got...
I don't know when your piece was made but looks to be pre-Civil War. Troemner started in business in 1844 in Philadelphia as the Henry Troemner...

Beautiful, brg! Now that's the kind of design I'm looking for on a modern coin. Bruce
Interesting, Frank. An unusual mix of counterstamping and engraving with a small chisel or something else. It's hard to tell what the date means,...
Looks like dwhiz got you, Jack.;) I was a little surprised to see a moose and a train on the same token too. "Moose Gooser" is almost as good as...
Two nice railroad medals, dwhiz. If I remember correctly, you collect railroad-related exonumia. I think I have a few pieces somewhere in my...
I picked up this nice old counterstamp a few weeks ago. It's on a 1798 Large Cent (S-186). It has the look of a silversmith back stamp, but looks...
Very nice additions with great toning on the Hill and Marshall pieces. I always loved off-metal tokens, especially in white metal. BTW, M.L....
That's a nice example of an American Primitive counterstamp, buddy16. Sometimes these old, crude stamps look like they've been applied with a...
