Paul has a pretty good selection of military tokens that he takes to coin shows with him, Jack. I've visited his website a couple of times and...
Here's the pics of my Indian Springs 5-cent token, Jack. I left it in the original 2x2 because of the info on it. You're right, it is a NV10a. I...
I looked into William R. Brown a bit more, Idhair, and realized I made a mistake. He was the proprietor of Congress Hall in 1854 so his token...
This is a Hard Times Token, Idhair. These private issues, along with political and satirical pieces, were issued to fill the need for small change...

You may be thinking of this one, Oded. The Nicolet CC in Green Bay, WI issued this one in 1965. It's overstruck on a 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar....
Here's an interesting contemporary counterstamp issued by a coin club. You rarely see stamps struck on Franklin Halves. Usually these modern era...
Don't worry about the big 40, Eugene, it's not so bad. I got there and just kept on going...maybe a little slower though.:D My best to you on your...
My pleasure, Oded. Glad I could help out. Bruce
