Thanks for the great presentation as usual Eugene. I learn something new everytime you post. Also, congratulations on becoming a moderator on...
Never saw a slabbed pocket piece before Kaos.:D Good choice...big and impressive. Thanks for posting it. Bruce
That's a beautiful medal Ken. What's its size and is there any edge lettering that tells us who struck it? Great addition my friend. Bruce
Patience is the key Jeff. This particular stamp was a BIN or make offer. I made an offer $30 less than his BIN and it was accepted. I wish I had...
It sure is, one and the same. Bruce
Your medal is silver WW and was designed by Victor David Brenner (we all know who he was). I believe either his initials "VDB" or "V D Brenner...
They're authentic (not counterfeits or copies) but of course modern restrikes purchased from the Austrian Mint in 1963. Bruce
Love the medal ww. Did you try to get any info on it? It might be fun spending a little time researching it. I also agree with having a subforum...

Thanks Ardatirion. It sounds like a good starting point for me. I need to educate myself about these pieces before I even think about collecting...
Thanks Frank...I'll stop by his table at the June show in Baltimore. Bruce
I like the J.H.Cline storecard dwhiz. Did you get it from him at a show or elsewhere? I see him at coin shows all the time so I'll have to ask him...
Thanks for the link Cheetah...very interesting. Bruce
Was John Marr a partner in Mossin & Marr by chance Cheetah? I had one of their store cards at one time and remember the fine craftsmanship...
Thanks for your comments Ardatirion and for posting the carved Roman coin. I guess in a way you could call this a counterstamp, closer to an...
I remember you posting this stamp before Frank and thought at the time that it may actually be something other than "Tamallo". Not having the coin...
