I'll check it out for you, riff. Bruce
Apparently, yes. The center "disturbance" was probably where the loop that attached the button was removed. I'm not sure why the spelling of the...
Check this out, riff. Scroll down just a bit and you'll see an example of your obverse, but with a 3 and not a 2....
Would that be a button or medal, riff? The reverse(?) appears to read Scovil Leav***so try searching that partial phrase...likely a company name....
I second that. Wonderful New Year too. Bruce
Think you're forgiven, Randy? Women have long memories. I can hear it five years from now."BTW, do you remember when... " :D Bruce
I've survived a number of my wife's verbal assaults over the years. She'll cool down in 5 or 6 years. Bruce
I hadn't thought of toolmakers, Mainebill. I like the Dunham & McMaster mark that has the Auburn stamp with a period after it...a little unusual...
Thanks for the link, Circus. I didn't see anything there either. Bruce
I'm just seeing the one stamp, C-B-D. The "Auburn" with a period. I was interested in the engraved (?) letters or initials also present on the...
I couldn't find any listed silversmiths named Auburn, but I think the stamp might be a reference to a city name such as Auburn, NY. In my search...
It's also listed by Brunk but with no attribution. Yours is a new example C-B-D. They're presently known pieces on other Large Cents... 1794,...
I found a reference to a Superior Lime Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the early 1900s (1906, 1909, 1912). Homer L. Zipp founded the company in...
It's genuine, alurid. Too bad the name is so common or we might be able to attribute it someday. This one isn't listed in Brunk. Bruce
I had an "Admit" token in my collection years ago. I always thought the "Paid" tokens were rarer, as I don't recall ever seeing one offered...
That's a nice counterstamp CoinHawkeye. These California Gold Rush era stamps are very popular. The Polhemus pieces are relatively common,...
Of course it has value, alurid. The fact that it's on a 2-Cent piece helps a bit...a little unusual on this denomination. Probably 15 to $25 would...
Please see my conversation. Just posted.
You probably should, Frank. I remember him telling me about 2007 or 2008 that the book would likely be published in 2010. Here it is 2019...
Not yet, Frank. He's faced some major health issues in the last few years, but seems to be improving significantly so it may come to pass in the...
