Thanks Chris. I do have more to post on the thread and will probably do so in the next couple of days. Bruce
I would, but I can't figure out how to do that. If you go to the top of the page to the "Advanced Search" box and type in "Irish Political Tokens"...
This is one of many issues of Northern Ireland Political stamps that I call "Troubles Counterstamps". Most were issued in the 1960's and 1970's by...
Thanks for the link Gene. A very interesting story to say the least. I haven't researched the coin extensively yet because I just haven't had the...
I can't help you with the rarity numbers for medals Chris, but surely they would have to be rated differently than coins are. If only 500 were...
I'd appreciate anything that a thoughtful friend or relative gave me. To me it really is the thought that's the most important thing. Even if it...
Very nice CWT brg. I like the nice even chocolate brown color. Congrats! Bruce
Thanks for the comments. Chris: Good to see you posting again my friend. The font and look of Skalbe's stamp tells us it's much newer than the...
Thanks Hunter. This is the first one I've seen, so I don't know how many they stamped or what they stamped them on. If I were to guess, I'd say...

Same here Mat, I buy most everything online too. I do attend shows though and always find some nice material at them. I've been to both Balto...
Thanks for the info Chris. I will go ahead and contact them and see what types of club exonumia they have for sale. Bruce
I love your tokens farthing. While checking out your Spence pieces, I realized that Thomas Spence was the same man who issued many, many...
Thanks for your comments guys. I agree about the CCC stamp, it was perfectly punched on the coin and at first glance looks like part of the...
[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] These are some new counterstamps I picked up in the past couple of weeks. The first one was issued by the...
I'm pretty sure it's just an arcade token or something similiar 24. I may have one like it in my stuff somewhere. I'll take a look and see if I...
Beautiful Commemorative Ken. One of my favorite designs for sure. Congrats on a great pickup. Bruce
As my father always used to say Marshall, a coin is worth what someone is willing to pay for it not what a book tells us it's worth. If there are...
