That's a nice counterstamp derkerlegand. I like the pictorial stamps, and have one or two with pigs on them myself. Also, roosters, dogs, lions,...
Agreed, JA. I'm feeling Doug's hot breath on my shoulder right now.I know what it is, but my lips are sealed.:muted: Bruce
Very interesting history, brg, and very much appreciated. While I have a rudimentary understanding of the Conder Tokens, I wasn't aware of the...
If you like it, peaches, it's NOT junk! Collect what you want, not what someone else wants. I like your note. Bruce
I've found that a lot of exonumia, and coins for that matter, that come from Hawaii are very well done and easy on the eyes. I even have some...
Yes, I would think the gold restrikes, possibly the silver as well, are quite scarce. Given the high medal value, it seems likely. At $6,000 or...

Actually, most of his mistresses or girlfriends were in France as he spent many years over there in negotiations...England also. As you say, he...
I like it Clutchy! Big and bold like Wellington himself. Bruce
Most of his time with his girl friends, Paddy...not much with his wife. To say he was faithful to his wife is to say I'm a genius. I'm not!!:D Bruce
