A agree with xCoin, Eagles. Both the surfaces and color look bad to me. I wouldn't keep it. Bruce
Thanks for the pics jlalm. That's a pretty dramatic strike, but the damage is really severe. I think it would detract a lot from the value so I...
Keep looking Bonnie Sue! it's half the fun of this hobby. Good luck! Bruce
We do need a picture of both sides of the coin jlalm. And, welcome to Coin Talk! Bruce
I'm right across the river in Jersey, Ken. I know the city very well. As a matter of fact, I worked at a hotel on Walnut St. many years ago. Bruce
Thanks, Ken. I appreciate any help that comes my way. I also checked Cincinnati directories, but still have others to look at. A time consuming...
I do pretty good bidding in his auctions, Jack. I won 3 out of 5 in his January Mail Bid Sale. As a bonus, it was the three that I wanted the...
Another nice one Idhair! I had an example of VanCott in my collection when I was into merchant tokens. I wonder if the time on the clock has any...
V Vent away, Jack! I feel for you my friend. Fortunately, I saw the light sometime ago and have been keeping my research and everything else up...

Nice old HTT Idhair. I've seen the same image of the eagle on other tokens as well...I like it very much. This is one of those advertising cards...

I wasn't thinking so much as to a political campaign "advertisement", Jeff, but more a tribute to an important political leader. I do think...
Looks like a goatee to me too Sam. At this point it could be anybody. It's kind of a distinctive profile so if someone comes up with the right...
Good to hear from you again, Jeff. It's been awhile. This really is an interesting portrait stamp. The profile isn't familiar to me and,...
Now, I like those a lot fretboard. It's so cold here in Jersey that a slug...or two...of Old Drum would go nicely right now. I'll chase it with a...
Looks like it may have been a button or medallion of some sort, Steve. The obverse of the coin looks to have a dot of solder or medal that...
Nice woods Circus. I had a huge collection of woods, but eventually disposed of them. I did keep my flats though, all issued by coin clubs. I...
Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. I'm still not able to make out any more detail. I suppose I should consider the portrait to be that of a...
Man, I haven't checked this thread in a few days. I missed a lot of nice stuff, but I'm caught up now. Keep 'em coming! Bruce
