It would be interesting JA, but Carleton, although in business for nearly sixty years, was apparently a small player in his field. I found no...
I'm not sure this one was even meant to be an advertisement Sam. More likely he wanted to see how his stamp struck-up and applied it to the coin...
[ATTACH] Here's an interesting counterstamp I picked up on eBay last week. Since it had a surname and address as part of the stamp - although no...
Good points JA, but they're defininitely considered Colonials. Probably because they're dated 1783 and have an image of George Washington on them....
Thanks for the info Sam. I have been to Reagan before but it's been some time. I'll keep it in mind and check it out next time. Bruce
That's a nice hefty medal Sam at 59mm. Beautiful workmanship, condition and color. You're going to need something pretty impressive to replace it....
Thanks for the picture of your UVF. This one has the most common placement for the initials, on the salmon. Most political slogans on Irish coins...
What's the date of your UVF coin Dr. ? These coins are generally counterstamped, not engraved. Some of the Irish political pieces are worth a bit...
What a great historical find. Thanks for the link Mat. Bruce

Parking tokens are on there way out for sure JA. I've driven through Lancaster County many times and it's one of the most beautiful areas in the...
That's really nice for a parking token JA. They were obviously made for something other than parking like you say. Why not for souvenirs? They...
Well, that's a first Circus. Never saw a wooden Shilling before. Bruce
It could be jester, but it's hard to be sure. Brunk will tell you himself that he's only examined in-hand or seen pictures of a very small number...
Very nice medals Collect89, Are they both white metal? Bruce
Good points Jeff, but there are many examples - especially from silversmiths - where we know his name is John or Jacob for example and in his mark...
Hi Chris, That's really an interesting thought. When you think about it, it does make sense. I've never heard that idea considered but it could...
I can't help you with the coin itself gradofan but the "R" is part of a counterstamp that is mostly off the coin. These old stamps were often made...
