I took a different tack. Instead of researching the token, I researched the Montgomery Transit Lines. I was interested in if my token was in use...
I like that on the Apollo landing token they actually got the quote right, which is quite rare.
Thanks for the reference! However, they don't give much information, and neither they nor Numista have my token. Mine has what I take to be a...
Thanks. They don't give much information about the tokens, and they don't have one like mine. Not only is the bus on theirs a mere outline, but...
If you want to make money investing in copper, buy stock in companies that produce it. I'm not saying that is in any way a good investment, but...
I'm interested in the history of your tokens. Any idea when they were made, especially the Alabama bus tokens? Is there a link to where I could...
Very uncommon in circulation, but it happens. I have maybe three or four that either I found over the years or a friend did and thought I'd like...

One way to tell it's die deterioration or machine doubling rather than true doubled die is that the mint mark is affected. In those days, unless...
The widow I mentioned received it as a gift from an elderly and disabled couple whom she took care of, both of whom recently died. Before he died...
I think it is 64. I don't think the flatness above the ear is wear. It looks like weakness in the strike to me.
I use my Red Book a lot, and it has a great deal of information in it. Unfortunately my most recent one is 1991, which is not much use for...
Thanks for the info. I do grade my stuff, but I wanted a second, more expert opinion. I had it pegged at G-6, but I'm really out of my league...
I'm trying to help a widow I know value some coins she came into. What would a dealer pay her for this? What grade would you give it?...
I'd make that trade any day.
That is where you press to turn on/off your $100.
Not an expert by any means, but it looks like it. However, it may be an optical illusion. The K, however is definitely either doubled or over...
