I agree with the sentiment that to find one on your own will be extremely difficult. To find such a specific item, you will need to contact those...
I have some references for military tokens, but I did not see any name of an organization of collectors. There was a list of names of those who...
My interests are only from a hobbyist aspect, and as I alluded to above, a cleaning does not really bother me. I do not plan to sell this should I...
My exonumia collection has many problem tokens in it, but cleaning/polishing often has little/no impact upon value for this area of collecting. So...
What can I say other than "Wow, another nice token of Larry's". Thanks for sharing.
I am looking for some opinions as to the extent polishing of this cent affects its value. While I am not an avid collector of Indian Head cents, I...
Stephen Alpert and Lawrence Elman, in their book "Tokens and Medals, a Guide to the Identification and Values of United States Exonumia" (1992)...
They might find a little interest out there, but I think most exonumia collectors have little desire to own slabs, and IMO slabbing has little...
I've seen tokens that were stamped "COPY" in NGC slabs over a year ago.
There are some out there, but I agree that extreme caution needs to be exercised if buying a raw one. An auctioneer friend of mine was going thru...
Ahhh, very good answer claycad. If mine were just a little nicer it could easily bring that. I paid about $2400 for mine, roughly 150 to 200 times...
I had made a notation on my die photos page that die 1223 has larger openings (or loops) in the numerals 864 of the date than what are shown on...
Don't worry about Rulau's catalog for cwts Larry. It is virtually worthless, and Rulau more or less states as such in the preface to the cwt...
I am leaning towards die 1223 as being the one used, but it is hard to be certain. Definitely a nice find though! Wish that would happen to me.
I am having a little trouble determining which reverse die was used to make this, either die 1223 for id OH 270A-4a R5 (75-200) valued at $60 in...
No problem. I certainly have my share of "moments". Just ask my wife, lol. Nice to meet another Eddie. You know what they say, "Two Eds are better...
Does anyone besides me collect Morgan's on steroids, also known as Bryan money? I collect just about all U.S. exonumia and its reference...
Hi Larry, yes, it is a counterstamped Indian head cent. I just posted it another thread, so I don't want to say too much about it at this point in...
Such "defaced" coins are often worth much more after the "defacing" than before to those that collect those types of things. Here is one that I...
