I love it NG...great way to get kids involved. They're the life blood of the hobby. Thank you! Bruce
Looks like George went to a gunfight with a knife. Bruce
I think it was cleaned at some point RR but noy harshly. Still a nice looking coin. Bruce
It certainly counts as exonumia Paddy. A very nice historic medallion with all the "extras". Bruce
I like it Ripley. A nice clean look with undamaged surfaces...and a classic 20th Century design. My kind of coin. Congrats! Bruce
Another beautiful note for your collection Rusty. I only collect N.J. obsoletes and don't have any MPCs but I enjoy seeing your new pieces....
"Stylized" indeed!! Why would you stylize your nation's symbol and make it look like something completely different. They screwed up and should...

WOW, what a story about one old beautiful coin. We can only dream about finding something like that. Bruce
You're right Tom, but the Philly shows are good too...and a lot closer to home. Bruce
I'll be glad to help if I can Calum, but i know a lot more about U.S. counterstamps than about those from other countries. I know a bit about...
Of course I remember you Calum...bought that RIRA coin from you awhile back. Great to hear from you again and congratulations on getting your life...
WOW!! Absolutely beautiful coin...what a way to start a collection. I agree with the Ken about the loupe. I use a 7X and 10X, mostly the 7...
Now that's my idea of a beautiful coin Leadfoot. Thats not too far from being a full red, at least by the picture. What does she grade? Bruce
