Does this ring a bell with anyone?
A not-too-similar coin was tentatively ID'ed as a fake that had been made for jewelry:...
I found this in a dealer junk bin & know that it could easily be a jeton or fake piece made for jewelry. There appears to be a toughra on one side...
After going through the US Token catalog, I was wondering if this might be a cotton picker token? Anyone recognize it?
Thanks! That was driving me crazy, because I was 99% certain it was Japanese from that era. Didn't even occur to me to check the China section of...

Interesting thread. Here's another on the same topic: http://www.unrv.com/forum/topic/10952-numismatics-more-than-coinsspintriae/ As others have...
I've searched through the Standard Catalog of US Tokens (3rd edition) with no luck. I started out by searching the index for all of the tokens...
I wonder why that is? Are mintages (& the rarity they often align with) less important among European collectors? I know that back in the early...
What was the symbolism of rabbits? Do we have any original documents that discuss what rabbits meant to the Romans?
I haven't checked in on values of these recently, but have a set of the first 5 pucks. What are they going for lately?
