You're right, longnine, I hadn't thought about that. By being in business as long as he was, he apparently had no problem with it. Speaking of...
I've done the same exact thing, Bill. Some years ago I searched several runs of east coast directories, but had no luck. The only one I found was...
I never give up on the issues that interest me, Bill. I always classified these research projects as a "10YR" meaning a ten year effort might be...
I just got this coin dealer exonumia in the mail yesterday. It's 40mm so pretty impressive. When Schill moved into offering world coins in the...
A nice assortment from FUN, Bill. I like the O&G especially as you don't see these often with a full strike. I have one that has a weakness at 5...
That's got to be the guy who stamped the coin, Bill. Not at all a common name. You gotta love attributing these pieces. Not only a clear strike,...
That sounds like a reasonable explanation, alurid. Here's a couple of other overstrikes I have. Both show good detail of the host coin. The...
I just realized that our tokens are from the same show in 1980, alurid. It looks like the AINA decided to use some leftover club tokens for your...
That's a nice medal, alurid. The AINA had a habit of stamping numismatic medals over existing coins. I have two in my collection. The "GLACC /...
Nice coin club medal, BadThad. I have about 300 medals from the ANA and clubs around the country, but not this one. A great looking piece. Bruce
Sadly, our experience works for us, Paddy, but it doesn't help those who are more easily deceived. I've contacted some fellow collectors with like...
I'm with you on the SBA, Christian. The Eisenhower is nipping at her heals though.:eek: Bruce
I see many modern Irish / British coins with fake political counterstamps, and have also run into the problem of what to do about it, Paddy. From...
I used to collect CWTs pretty seriously years ago, Pickin and Grinin, but don't have access to my references right now. Sorry, I can't help you...
Love the vignettes on these old notes, panzerman. Your Brownville note is especially nice. I also collect obsoletes, but only from New Jersey. Bruce
A nice, clean CWT, Pickin a
Opps, forgot the pictures! Here goes. Bruce[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'd have to disagree with Steve on this one, Sean. The piece would be immensely valuable IF it could be proven to be authentic. Struck generic...
Thanks for posting your coin, Sean. I did quite a bit of research on Civil War dog tags some years ago, and authenticity issues are hard to get...
Thanks, Circus. Probably a tool check, but like you say, could be anything. Bruce
