Well, I think some acquaintances see me as a bit odd, so being an odd denomination token, such as some 87 1/2 cent ones that I have would be...
I should be able to post some info about these in the very near future. Catching up on some reading tonight. Samjimmy is correct in that...
Sorry for not being around lately, a serious family illness required a great deal of time. Welcome to the forum ewasherman! Undoubtedly you...
There are 48 varieties of these "flag" Civil War tokens. Most are relatively common and inexpensive, but over $1000 can be paid for the highest...
I agree that not all of the bases were covered. In general, for exonumia, I feel that there is extremely little need for slabbing, and IMO the...
Hi Jerome, I have three references specifically for encased postage stamps: "Encased Postage Stamps, U.S. and Foreign", 1967, by Arlie R....
At first glance, it looked fake to me as well, but I checked my reference to be sure (Small California and Territorial Gold Coins" by R.H....
The first two links were for slightly scarcer (R2) tokens, while the last one was also for an R1 variety. Personally, I wouldn't have NGC...

Not exactly coins, but circulated just as coins did, are the Civil War tokens. There are R8 (5-10 known) tokens that list in Unc for as little as...
The same kind (and more) of problem coins will be slabbed by the "respected" tpgs when it suits them.
What kind of information are you looking for? They are all somewhat pricey, starting at about $2000 in Unc and going up into 5 figures. Some were...
Then none of the letters DH (of PCGS) has written that mention how the grading services have taken advantage of collectors bother you? Or how...
This token falls into the fourth major type group (of 6 groups) of the Excelsior Shoe Company tokens. This type with the Belle Meade Reverse shows...
I would say that NGC gave it an MS65 minimum, but I am going to go with MS66. Its hard to guess their exonumia grades, some are OK, but quite a...
I get more surprise/reaction from the Kennedy halves than I do with the new dollars.
I was in error. I checked the address and it is the one at Tadmore. I haven't been there yet myself, but a co-worker goes every month, and I will...
