I agree, Chris. Well designed and beautifully executed. Bruce
TAMS offers a lot of variety in their articles about exonumia, Jack. A lot of it doesn't necessarily interest me, but I do learn a lot about other...
Yes, I've been a member for about 10 years, Jack. Bruce
I actually have had an article published about a portion of my collection in the Token and Medal Society Journal (TAMS) about a year ago. They...
This is my latest Irish political stamp, picked up recently from a source in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. The "UVF" stamp is an acronym for the...
This is a nice piece I just added to my collection of contemporary numismatic counterstamps. It's a full over strike on a Kennedy Half issued by...
Beautiful Greenie!! I like it a lot, my friend. Bruce
It looks like a lightly applied counterstamp. I've never seen this one before, but there are many, many examples of coins stamped with the Ford...
You're right about that, Jack. I can't think of any coins I have with a flag on it, but I'll look around. And a big thank you to you and all...
Oh, sorry, I missed it. Still a decent piece, although in the ground for awhile. Thanks. Bruce
Nice to see you here on CT, Mr.Frip. Yes, PHILAD is an old abbreviation for Philadelphia. Another is PHILADA. The name is too long to stamp on a...
The older political pieces like this one are rare, Dplodocus. Most from this era are defacements, such as scratched out eyes, tooling to the...
I found my example of Houck and took a picture of it. Bruce[ATTACH]
Nice tokens, fretboard. The Wonder Bread token must be from around the 1950s. I remember cheap bread like that. Bruce
My pleasure, Jack. I was going to post a picture of my example, but just realized I don't have one. I'll have to look it up do so. Bruce
Jacob Houck was a pretty interesting guy, Jack. He had a patent for his panacea issued in 1833. He claimed it cured chlorea, among other things....
I've seen enameled coins before, but not love tokens. Very unusual. The Houck's Panacea is a real classic American counterstamp. Relatively...
It is an ugly portrait of an Indian for sure, but I like the token, alurid. I have an extensive collection of coin related exonumia, that...
I hear you, Jack. Well said! Bruce
Sorry to hear about the third coin going astray, Diplodocus. Fortunately, it's never happened to me, but it's always something you have to worry...
