I love the transportation tokens that have a "signature." Interesting stuff, lowle. Bruce
I have another multi-counterstamped Large Cent with all kinds of farm animals stamped on it...pig, eagles, rooster, fox, etc. Unfortunately, it...
Okay, here's my contribution. Didn't start out as an eagle coin but was turned into one. This is an 1818 Large Cent counterstamped by early...
I always liked Feuchtwanger's, Greenie. Used to have one in the "old days" but had to sell it years ago when the wife wanted to update her shoe...
Freeman isn't listed in Brunk or Rulau, Collecting Nut, but i found a man who is the likely issuer. C.W. Freeman was a jeweler in Scranton, Pa in...

Thanks, dwhiz. Have a great Easter yourself. Bruce
Good to see you here, Doug. Some decent pictures would be great. Bruce
Interesting write-up, longnine. I was always fascinated by the sometimes odd variety of products sold by some of these vendors. A forerunner of...
Great write up, longnine. Always nice to know the history behind a token in your collection. I never knew what Naval Stores were but now I do....
I'd like to see a picture when you get a chance. Bruce
