How to fix a coin broken in 3 parts - Krazy Glue!

Well not exactly for a Metal Planchet

I recently received this Wooden Dollar in the mail by member @dwhiz .. Unfortunately it was damaged in the process of it reaching me.
It broke into 3 separate pieces


But I found the quick fix.. Krazy Glue!
Just a tiny dab and it is whole again.


Thank you very much Dwhiz!
It will definitely go into my Exonumia Binder.

Here are a few other Wooden Nickels/Tokens from my Exonumia collection..




This one was from @lordmarcovan..

Believe it or not, there is stuff called museum glue that is used to hold coins together. I have most often seen it used for English pennies of Matilda. She was the daughter of King Henry I. She had a legitimate claim to the English throne, but the nobles would not accept a woman as their queen and sole leader.

She and her supporters fought an unsuccessful civil war to gain power. During that war, she issued poorly made pennies that are quite rare today. They are fragile and often break apart. Hence glue is used to hold them together.

 

A very rare wooden planchet crack creating a scar face...

Thanks Paddy saved another Scarface woody!

 

I prefer Elmer's wood glue myself as it does not stain.
Here is an Error for your enjoyment. Off-center stutter strike.

 

I'm sad, I don't have any wooden exonumia to share.

 

Ed, you being an error expert, you should have sent it in and had it slabbed without repairs. Missed your chance now.

 

A true woodie

 

One from NY

 

Here is another error Wooden Nickel. Inverted bronco rider.

 

We lived in Frankfort until I was 5 and visited my grandparents there many times. My father was born there in 1921. He was a patrolman on the police dept and the fire chief.

 

Nice memorabilia!

 

If you have any interest in the wooden nickel its yours for the asking. PM me.

 

I think I have a beer one somewhere. need to look around some. LOL

 

So...
@dwhiz attempted to send me a new Wooden Dollar.

It also arrived broken in 3 pieces


I think is that when the post office cancels the stamp the machine used puts force on the wood

No worries.. I used wood glue this time!

 

That sucks...but it is kind of funny at the same time. At least the post office is consitent?

 

3rd Times a Charm!​

So @dwhiz sent me another wooden Dollar..
He covered it up good.
This time it made it in one piece!


Hehe. Thanks!

 

All's well that ends well!
