Any idea what the story is with this tiny USS Olympia token? There are larger medals with a similar design supposedly made from the propeller of...
Any mods handy who feel like doing the honors?
Is there something we should be looking for? That date looks a little odd, but I think that's just from normal wear.
Maybe I should have posted this in the World Coins forum. Is there a way to move it, rather than starting a duplicate thread?
Thanks. I just noticed a typo in my OP. Instead of "these were dated continuously" I meant to type "these were minted continuously" all with the...
I'm looking for tax tokens, particularly those issued by counties in Illinois & Washington instead of states. Depending on grade & type, I'm...
Seems about right for me. I'm not sure what PCC Co might stand for. But, there's a lot of Community Colleges and Correctional Center possibilities...

I have several Marie Theresa Thalers and am trying to identify the mints and years of production. These are all dated 1780, but were apparently...

And the other side:
Strange, the reverse didn't post. Trying again:
I'm not sure what this is. It's more than a bit worn - anyone recognize it?

I have a strange token that I can't identify and was wondering if anyone has any idea what this is? I found a page written in what appears to be...
Or, I'm an idiot. I was reading the date as 1883, but that appears to be an 1853 farthing (when the obverse WAS the same as that later used in...
Separate names with a comma.
