Counterfeit! Too many questionable areas. Bruce
Could be, but If the person was 35 in 1973 they'd be one day younger than dirt today....like me.:D Bruce
That's exactly what they are. The numbers are heavily struck so it would be impossible to do that and not leave some damage on the other side....
Yeah, you won't get a sharp clear strike without a hard surface. If it's too soft the punch will likely move causing multiple images (chatter). I...
Hard to tell but it might have been used as a game piece to identify a player or to indicate a value. I don't think it was just a "don't have...
I love provenance on a coin. It really adds to the interest for me. I have many of them in my collection, but most are "blue-collar" examples....
A nice medal, Heavymetal. I've seen others for various Presidents, but not a Ford example. Great piece! Bruce
Sorry, meant to say "on a common counterstamped coin" Bruce
Geez guys! Spending a lot of time on a non-counterstamped coin. Call it what you want but it has no value and would essentially be impossible to...
I had one of these yesterday on a piece of junk mail. It was covered by a dark part of the advertisement and very faint. I finally found it and...
Great pickups for a buck. Congratulations! Bruce
Thanks for the great pictures. What a wonderful coin for anyone's collection. Bruce
If you can get clearer pictures I'd love to see them. Bruce
Sorry I can't add anything to the discussion but I very much enjoyed the information you've shared with us. Thank you. Bruce
It's genuine. One characteristic is a very faint die break showing from the dome of Monticello to US in Pluribus. Yours has that so it's a genuine...
I like thin planchets too. In the "old days" a lot of odd shaped letters and numbers were cut into dies. I've seen many examples of a 1 in a date...
I recently picked up this token to add to my coin related exonumia collection. It wasn't sold as such but looks like a die trial to me...no...
Sorry I couldn't attach the photo for some reason. I'll try again later. Bruce
The address for the third man (Nealy?) is an apartment building called The Harrison so he would have lived there. It was built in 1935 so it fits...
I'm going to check out some of the names on the note to see if I can come up with any info on their families. On looking closer I think the third...
Separate names with a comma.
