Sorry, Wehwalt, I wasn't paying attention. It's a Danish counterstamp on a Swedish coin. Sometimes I type faster than my brain works. My...
That's a great counterstamp, Wehwalt. It's unlisted in Dr. Brunk's reference on worldwide counterstamps, but if you don't mind, i can report it to...
Probably the same thing we call pot medal, Paddy. A combination of different medals, I suppose. Still a nice piece. Bruce
Beautiful medal, yarm! I also collect exonumia that relates to coin and token collectors. Thay include personal pieces like yours, medals issued...
Yes, it is a very nice design, Paddy. Is it silver? Bruce
I like this one even more so that the last. Absolutely outstanding workmanship. Bruce
Thanks for the history, Wehwalt. I would imagine these were sold in some capacity to at least reimburse them for the expense of producing the...
Man, that's a very impressive medal, Whewalt. Do you know why it was issued and the meaning of the dates 1870 / 1970? That is a good size if it...
Nice and unusual look to this one, yarm. The "roughness" of it is very appealing to me. Bruce
Thanks, Paddy. Being attached to a box seems like a good possibility. Bruce
I went to the Baltimore show on the 14th, and despite the convention center closing early, I found this interesting counterstamp at Steve Hayden's...
That's an unusual medal, Wehwalt. It is a privilege to own something like that. I'm glad you appreciate its significance. Bruce
I always liked Chicago, Sam. I didn't know that about a possible lawsuit. I just thought it was easier to drop the "Transit Authority." Easier to...
That's really interesting, Paddy. At first glance I thought it was an ancient Roman coin. It appears to have been made to be attached to...
That's a wonderful story about the history of your medal, Paddy. So sad that his life ended in war, and that he was apparently forgotten by family...
I'd guess $20, Cascade. Your best bet would be eBay. Bruce
I checked this as much as I could, Cascade, but had no luck. There could be another initial before "C" that we can't see, so makes it even harder...
There are a few "Mowry" counterstamps documented, Cascade, but not this one. I'll look around for you later, but have to go to work right now....
That's a little treasure, Paddy. You come across some very interesting things in your travels. Bruce
That's a tough one, Paddy. Your guess of a peacock feather is as good as any I can think of. It's possible that the feather, if that's what it...
