I like the look of the copper rounds. I've seen some beautiful designs too. Bruce
The counterstamped "Sedan" coins are very common but I hadn't seen any engraved pieces until now. Thanks for posting them. Bruce
I haven't bought anything from the mint for years. I don't think of coins as an investment and most of their offerings didn't appeal to me. The...
That would work for me. I think it's a great idea to buy two...fulfills two needs. Bruce
Maybe the buyer just liked the lot. I always say buy what makes you happy. The best things in life aren't always investments. Bruce
That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Makes you wonder who made it. Bruce
A great haul of tokens. Very nice Monitors. I had a nice collection of CWTs but never any of those. Great looking stuff. Bruce
I agree it's a nice coin though having been cleaned at some point. There's no evidence of a harsh cleaning so that's good. Bruce
A nice example of Gun Money. I have a few but they're pretty rough. Bruce
Some really nice tokens you have there, Z. I have a few somewhere in my collection but not as nice as yours. Bruce
Yes there's something wrong with the coin. The surfaces look too clean and I'm also disturbed by the sharpness of Liberty. Bruce
I wouldn't crack it out. I don't see any benefit in doing that. Bruce
That's a tough one, Sal. I'm sort of in the same boat but I do have a daughter who shows some interest in my collection. I don't worry about her...
Your proof Indian is beautiful. Bruce
I was always curious as to what a blacksmith token was, so now I know. I thank you for the explanation. BTW, are there any books devoted to this...
The Civil War tokens are about historic as it gets. I also have a thing for them but I never had a Monitor. Bruce
I love those old coppers and the Strawberry Leaf is a very special one. Bruce
Not really but that's not what I'm in it for anyway. I just love the history of the coins and the joy of collecting. Bruce
Wow, that's a great looking building. Very appropriate to it's purpose. I never saw a picture of it before. Bruce
You're in it aren't you, Sal? Bruce
