Those March Field tokens are exceptionally well done compared to many others, Jack. They have a special quality look to them. They remind me more...
I don't know, Frank. It's probably better if you post your stuff here though as it gets more exposure. Do you have some new things to show us? Bruce
Not wrong, Jack, just shows you have your priorities right.:) Bruce
Looking forward to seeing it, Jack. I don't recall seeing it before. Bruce

Thanks, Frank. I'll have to make a note of that on my 2x2. Bruce
Here's some more of my exonumia related to numismatics. I love the toning on the Fowler token. The second one is a die trial strike on aluminum. I...
Civil War tokens are interesting to collect, 49er. While some are very pricey, many are available that are easy on the wallet. There are a lot of...
Wow, Jack, you do have a big collection. I don't think I ever asked you if you have any preferences in the types of military tokens you...

This is a new counterstamp that i just received a few days ago. This is one of only about two dozen English stamps I have, my interests lying...
Thanks, Sam. I don't know much about chips either, but do enjoy seeing your wonderful collection and the history behind them. Keep 'em coming! Bruce
Well said, Sam. There's a small amount of interest in what I collect as well, so often feel the same way. It doesn't dampen my enthusiasm though....
Glad to see you post another of your casino chips, Sam. Personally, I enjoy seeing them and getting a little history lesson as a bonus....
I don't know much about these tokens as you know, Jack, but after reading all the opinions and looking at the pictures, my guess would be that...
I searched high and low for this image, Diplodocus, but couldn't find it. The stamp is likely English because of the host coin. It's definitely...
Great question, Jack, and an informative answer. Frankly, i never knew the reason for issuing these pieces, but suspected it might be partially...
