NGC has a hard time following Fuld's identification system. Typically no one (except for NGC) includes the "F-" as part of a cwt id. They forgot...
Conder101, you hit the cwt id with 47/332a. It appears to not quite match because I would say that the token was struck while the die was in a...
Brunk's does not list this WW counterstamp in his large book on the subject. It appears that the letters were made individually, which could have...
I just took a look at a Saloon Token reference, but did not find your token there either, suggesting it may be quite scarce. It did mention that...
IMO this token looks to be a cast counterfeit of Baker 14 (also Garrett 1743, D & H Middlesex 242, Rulau-E Non 15, WA. FA. 1789.1). The coloration...
My Ingle System reference usually provides listing info, but I could not find a listing for a W. J. Hobart token (the J.C. Weaver token is...

Your token is id AL120Ka (there are 3 additional minor varieties), it should be 23mm in diameter and be made of bronze. Its value is listed at...
I hope you picked it up. Die 288 was only paired with die #5, but there are 5 possible metals. Copper (the least valuable) ranged in price from...

This is a Civil War Storecard, id NY630BM-1a (assuming it is the common large planchet variety). The Indian Head is die # 1010. Rarity rating is...
I have never attempted to grade notes, so I won't try here. There are only 11 large sized notes listed in the census for this bank. The bank was...
Hi Duke, Sorry for the slow response, but I was away from home and unable to access a computer. Yes, those Civil War tokens are real. The...
I agree with cladking that your item was likely handed out to prospective clients. In 1920 Wiley Osborne purchased Murdock Stamp and Specialty Co....
I'll see if these pics display in an additional post. Guess not, you will have to click on them to see them.
I wish it were still Wednesday.
Thanks Clinker, interesting reading. For those Ben Franklin fans who would want to know more about depictions of Franklin on exonumia, you can...
It is true that there are many fakes of Confederate items. Many of the fake Confederate notes are well known and documented, and there are...
My apologies Zeke, but this sort of thing brings out the engineer in me, so please forgive me for the following. I estimated the area of the hole...
I am not familiar with this particular medal, but my first impression was that this piece was made by casting, which, if true, would be indicative...
