If the halfpenny and penny planchet are a different size you might be able to get a rough measurement through the slab. Bruce
Yeah, a halfpenny would be too small I think. I was going to say weigh it but since it's slabbed that's not do able. Even without the sheen it's a...
Now there's a collectable for you. Should drive it over to PCGS to be graded.:D Bruce
Great token and interesting history, Johnny C. I've always had an interest in any history surrounding my coins and tokens. I see you do too. Well...
Not familiar with the A & P fair token but I like it. Would that be the A & P chain of grocery stores do you know? Bruce
Here's a quick one, Z. The Jennie Hubbs was a steamboat that operated on the Mississippi River during the Civil War. Not a rare stamp but not...
I've seen a small number of these recently, Z. Wouldn't mind having an example for my collection but haven't any so far. I did bid on one a couple...

Very nice old half cent, Kanga. The "little sisters" have always been my favorite US series. Very much underappreciated in my view. I've skipped...
By the style and overall condition of the stamps they've probably been on the coin for most of its life, 1stSgt. Back then it was just spending...
I'd guess it's either a love token ("H loves M") or just someone's initials. Not a pocket piece though...not enough wear or "pocket damage."...
A solid win for sure. Very nice. Bruce
If you're havin' bacon I'll be right over, d.:D Bruce
