Very nice, Jack. All with a special meaning to you as a bonus. Bruce
I probably won't, Jack, but if I do, I'll remember your interest. BTW, Steve Hayden has forwarded my email to the consignor of the piece....
Wonderful coin, Eugene. I like the fact that you periodically update your threads. Thanks. Bruce
Perfect timing, Amos. Bruce
Thanks for your comments everyone. I would love to know where this dog tag has been for the past 150 years, but its seen tough times, both during...
This ugly, corroded Civil War token is actually extremely rare and historically significant. Although struck and engraved examples of Civil War...
I like the coal token, Circus. I have a dozen or so in my collection but don't collect then per se. It's an interesting series though. I like the...
I've seen dozens of the Devins & Bolton counterstamps over the years, but for some reason don't have one in my collection. D & B not only stamped...

Very nice gift, dwhiz. Especially for a railroad buff like yourself. Bruce
Love the St. George / Dragon design, brg. Wyon was quite an accomplished artist. Very, very nice. Bruce
Thanks for the info, brg. I enjoy hearing the "rest of the story" in regard to exonumia. Makes these pieces more interesting to me. Bruce
This is is a beautiful coin, brg. I do remember your copper example posted some time ago. At a mintage of 790, it must be difficult to find an...
Nice, Fretboard. I like them all. There are a lot of fantasy brothel tokens out there. I can never tell the genuine ones from the "souvenir"...
Very nice, Jester. I have a couple of Mehl tokens but none with an envelope. That makes yours special. Bruce
