I've seen big jumps for counterstamped coins along with smaller price increases on general exonumia. Some of the stuff I used to buy I have to...
The HTT is a great pickup from a bin of unsorted coins. I wouldn't expect to see one there. Sometimes it pays off to go through them. Bruce
Thanks, guys. Good information. Bruce
Nice coins / tokens. If these are tokens what are their purpose...collectibles, merchants, advertising, etc.? Very nice either way. Bruce
These days it's illegal to metal detect on a Civil War battlefield. Up until the 1960s it was legal. Bruce
So that's the choice...wheels or coins. Let's see...I'll take the coins and hitchhike. LOL. Bruce
I am too, but no longer buy from the mint. The new "style" isn't a good look. Bruce
Depends where the coin is being shipped from. If your transaction is legitimate it's sometimes best to give them as little information as...
I live close to Wiliamstown but there's not many shops still around that I know of. There's Village Coins in Westmont that's still open but I...
That's a nice CC medal. I have a huge collection of medals, tokens, and such all issued by clubs, ANA, collectors, dealers, etc. I have quite a...

64 or possibly a 65. The small smudges on the obverse might make the differences. Not distracting, but still there. Bruce
In this pic it does look like more of an encasement. A trial strike would have smoother edges. Interesting piece. Bruce
Thanks. Bruce
I agree 100%. It's really poor taste to try to cut in on a dealer's transaction in his own store or table at a show. It should NEVER be done. Bruce
No, with the mafia it's both.:rage: Bruce
Not sure if this is the Reuben Roseman you're looking for but a man by that name worked for the Glidden Co. at least in 1960. Apparently, he was a...
Can you get a pic showing a larger image of the block? Something with more perspective might help. Thanks. Bruce
Maybe the outer ring was meant to be engraved but never was. It may have been meant for a love token, some type of award, or just a memento of an...
I found a Bloomington, Indiana jeweler named George N. Rouse who was in business at least until 1881. The counterstamp very well could be that of...
Separate names with a comma.
