I think I was supposed to remind you about the Philly show Doctor. I mentioned it awhile ago in a thread and you asked me to give you a heads up...
It's just a random counterstamp someone applied to the coin after it went into circulation raujaku. It may have had some significance to that...
Oh by the way Mark, quit whining. You did get a few cheap, seedy looking Austrian coins for pocket change. You know that life is tough for...
I agree with Mark, the show was a bit of a dissapointment although I did well for myself. I picked up a lot of coin related exonumia for my...

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...
Looks like maybe through a thin piece of wire Siggi. By the way, a beautiful coin/token. Could you give us some history on it? Bruce
That's a nice medal Guy, and in the same ballpark so to speak. It's an interesting period in history. Thanks for posting it. Bruce
I stick strictly to NJ notes with a few exceptions, because I have other collecting interests. I don't have any colonials yet, but will pick up...
