That's a nice counterstamp, AkFlip. It was issued by either Samuel Simpson, or his son Samuel L, both blacksmiths in Easton, Mass. The father was...
Always keep my eye open for Mildenhall stuff when I go to shows, Jack. I check Cunningham, and others who have military exonumia. Found a new one...
Thanks, Jack.
I did write an article for TAMS about two years ago or so. It's the story about 30 coins I got from my friend in Belfast 5 or 6 years ago that I...
Thanks, Jack. I've been keeping a census of these coins for some time, and have documented over 700 examples from all involved in the war. So far...

That's a nice looking, high-relief medal, Pickin and Grinin. You expect that quality from Medalic...beautifully done. I like the portrait too,...

Too bad about the pics not showing. I'm going to try one to see if I have any luck.
Didn't know it closed that along ago, Frank. Yikes!! Bruce
Here's the ANA medal I picked up in Baltimore. It was issued in 2001. This is the first numismatic medal I've added to my collection in some time....
That's a nice token, Jack. I always liked the off "metal" stuff...hard rubber, plastic, white metal, tin, etc. It adds a bit of interest to the...
I had a pretty good day on Thursday at the Baltimore coin show. I picked up a nice ANA medal, three pieces of NJ obsolete currency and this great...
Don't forget good cigars, Stork. I can forget my troubles for an hour or so with a fine Dominican cigar in hand. Bruce
Some interesting history attached to that piece, lordmarcovan. It's too bad that there isn't a name attached to it. That would make for a fun...
They're really nice pieces, dwhiz. Bruce
