Sorry, I guess I have things a bit out of order now. Here is another die plate sample, the title page, and a couple of pages of auction and/or...
Well, that attempt failed. On to the 1861 reference. Here is the cover, and a few sample pages showing the die plate sketches, which are of very...
I will try another one of the sale result to see if it will be larger.
Here are a few sample pages of the listings. A sale results page is also shown.
OK, I tried using my wife's scanner for the first time to get some pics of my old books. Some of the scans are a little fuzzy in places as I was...
I'm still not sure if anyone picked up on both of the references that I intended. I figured that some members would pick up on the John Galt...
I forgot to mention that neither one has any photos, but some of the manual renderings of the coins/tokens are very high quality.
Hi Frank, if you ever are in the NE Ohio area, look me up. Or, if photos will be good enough, I will try to get some pics taken and posted in the...
You are very welcome Stephen. You may have been able to find a slightly better deal, but you did not do bad. Kanzinger's lists that token at $12...
CheetahCats, just curious, did you pick up on both references that I made with that question? To be honest, I didn't really expect anyone to catch...
I have two ref. books on Franklin exonumia. One is Franklin and Numismatics (1982) by Sanford J. Durst. Your items were not listed in this book,...
I looked this counterstamp up in my book of counterstamps by Brunk (2003), and this counterstamp is listed. The very interesting thing about this...
Coinprez, Rulau's catalog is virtually worthless for identifying Civil War Store Cards. Only the most common variety is listed for each merchant....
I'm not into Redbooks, but I have some old coin books. The two oldest are close in age. (1858) Tradesmen's Cards, Political Tokens and Currency...
Hello Stephen, You are correct with the 110/442 die pair. When I first read your question concerning the 3759 number, my first thought was that...
I have a couple of the common ones, but don't have them handy to take pics. Who is John Gault?
I would think that there are some out there as I have a couple on the topic of German tokens, which I think would be a more obscure topic. In...
Well, the book was printed in 1981, so that token would have been made before that. For what it is worth, the items are listed in chronological...
These are both known as Patriotic Civil War tokens (as opposed to storecards), and are rather nice examples. Your first token is id 220/322a, R1...
The Hitler piece is listed in one of my references, "Medallic Portraits of Adolf Hitler" by R.W. Colbert and William D. Hyder. This piece is...
