[ATTACH] Here's the obverse of the Washington, D.C. medal. Bruce
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Here's some new medals I picked up for my collection of exonumia while at the Philly show on Thursday. I...
Kind of reminds me of the two old guys talking about how poor they were when they were kids. One said about how he had to walk to school with...
Thanks for the info smeashy. I think your "FB" counterstamp was a reference to something other than the Fenian Brotherhood, but it's hard to be...
All good advice Siggi. I haven't always been a disciplined collector as I am today, but I've never bought on a whim. I think out each potential...
I agree, sounds like a tidy sum to me Owle. Bruce
I noticed that as well scottishmoney, but didn't think it through as you have. I agree, 1842 is very late in the game to use the old style. As I...
Thanks Siggi. I love the history behind the coins, tokens and currency I collect, maybe more than the pieces themselves. Smeashy: I don't think...
I can see why you hold this man in such high regard Siggi. As I was reading the information about him that you provided, I saw similarities with...

Like Kasia says Hiddendragon, because of the hoarding of small change and other problems as a result of the war these tokens were issued by...
Thanks Joe. Do you collect currency at all? Bruce
Come on Mark, what's one more little old series to collect? If I remember correctly (and I do) yours truly just got involved in some new Austrian...

Good move CK. I know those kinds of things are tempting, but you just have to let them go and wait for the next one. Good luck. Bruce
For some reason the 1864 Monitor token like yours only has 12 stars while the 1863 dated variety has 13. I don't know for sure why, but it could...
Likewise CK, I'd pass as well. The huge scratch on the reverse is a deal breaker. Bruce
