Thanks Ominus1 for your input. That's the thing... even if someone had carried it around as a charm, it would not have worn down so badly. I...
Hello all, I seek your expertise and input once more. I was sent these photos from a colleague who regards me as an old coin expert. (But he's...
I really like that saying. So "obvious" of course, but yet so true that we forget.
Hi Paddy54 - yes, that's a good hypothesis. If MD were to be considered part of the Confederacy, that would make 12. Thanks.
Alurid, thanks for sharing your tokens. It's interesting that, for the first one you posted, there are 12 stars on the obverse, but 13 above the...
I have a Civil War token with 12 stars. I know it's not an error because there are numerous other types that also have 12 stars instead of 13....
Oh, yes! Yeap - I've been told that. But I guess milk did not come to mind during lunch and dinner times. Wait.... I thought this was COIN-talk!...

I share your gladness because I'm FAAAAAR less of an expert on these things and will never be able to detect the nuances between the real and the...
Many thanks again for your input. I really appreciate them. In a weird sense, I like the reverse of the fake much better! Hahaha. As for the...
A slightly clearer photo of the 2013 obverse. Embarrassing for me, I know. Hahaha.[ATTACH]
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] All (except for the 3rd from left) photos are of the 2013 fake. I included the 3rd photo here although it's...
I have 3 from BOLD, all with the "frosted" reverse. This 2013 one didn't - which started my whole thread on this site.

Thank you for your insight. I was just reading an Agatha Christie book right before reading your comments and 2 points from the book were...
That's what I enjoy about reading this forum from time to time. I find myself scratching my head and thinking to myself, "How do these guys know...
