I just picked this up from eBay a couple of days ago for my numismatic exonumia collection. These earlier pieces, before the 1960s, aren't often...
Well, my wife is Irish after all, so I'm pretty good at it, Bill <LOL> Bruce
I posted this counterstamp a week or so ago, and with the help of two CTrs (ExoMan and JBK) I was able to pretty much nail down an attribution....
Thanks, Bill. I like both of them, but especially the one on the Spanish coin. They're a great platform for counterstamps. Bruce
Your counterstamp probably reads "BRINGHURST & KIRBY," Michael. John Henry Bringhurst was one of the early Philadelphia sawmakers c1840s. He...
I just bought a new pictorial counterstamp and need some help identifying it. If anyone recognizes the symbol or has a comment I'd appreciate...
I agree with ExoMan, H8. As soon as I saw your pic I assumed it was a war relic. As far as the hole position goes, it would be an odd place to...
I like these old49er, but don't have any Conders in my collection yet. So many other things I have more interest in, I just never got around to...
I forgot about Ernie, PennyGuy. I haven't bought much from him over the years, but he and Steve both have a great reputation. Bruce
I'd contact Steve Hayden about your token, Dallas. He's a huge CWT seller, and was involved in the new editions of both books. He has a mail bid...
I've seen one or two on Dimes, Fretboard. This one looks completely legit to me, but if you're uncomfortable with something you have to walk away....
I like it, fretboard. Most of these are on Quarters, so being struck on a dime is a bit unusual. There's only about 20 examples of this...
Love your detailed description of the properties of tin, and how it's affected by different environmental conditions, Paddy. A friend of mine in...
...and beautiful. Outstanding medal, yarm! Bruce
Nice coin and stamp. Larry. I think you did fine on the price. Bruce
Since i didn't pick up much at the Baltimore show, I found this one on eBay and got it for a decent price. It's now known as my "Baltimore Coin."...
No problem, Paddy. I actually don't like Scotch Whisky or Bourbon so I was only kidding about having a Rob-Roy before dinner. Now bring a bottle...
No Paddy, I was just looking at the reverse of the token where it listed the different brands(?) of pens they made. I was commenting on what I...
That's a beauty, old49er. Very impressive. Bruce
Nice tokens, Paddy! I like the pen manufacturer's piece best. I'll take a Rob-Roy <LOL> Bruce
