You and me both, Frank.:D Bruce
I can't add much to what Bill has already said, except I did find another possible issuer. There was a 23 year old mechanic with this name living...
That sounds like a great price, Circus. You better grab it while it's still available. Bruce
Nice batch of transit tokens there, Circus. Do you perchance have the Coffee-Atwood references for these pieces? I did at one time, but have since...
Geez, Jack, that's one tubby cat!:eek: Don't want to get on the wrong side of him. Bruce
Strange, I saw a set just like this a couple of weeks ago, Bill.:D Bruce
You're fight, Insider. It doesn't matter a wit to me. Maybe we can just describe them as purposeful damage.:D Bruce

Are there other denominations of March tokens, Jack? It would seem likely that there would be at least a 25 cent and $1.00 one. The website idea...
Those March Field tokens are exceptionally well done compared to many others, Jack. They have a special quality look to them. They remind me more...
I don't know, Frank. It's probably better if you post your stuff here though as it gets more exposure. Do you have some new things to show us? Bruce
Not wrong, Jack, just shows you have your priorities right.:) Bruce
Looking forward to seeing it, Jack. I don't recall seeing it before. Bruce
Counterstamping coins was very common in the 19th century, especially from c1830/1880. It was a method of free advertising for businesses. It was...
Thanks, Frank. I'll have to make a note of that on my 2x2. Bruce
