I need to image my latest, your posts remind me @Circus

I'm digg'n the Thinker's Creed!

 

Here's one of my favorite medals even though I don't collect them. It's struck on the Carson City press #1 back in 2010 it's 547/2010 if they sold all 2010 medals. And yes it's numbered and carries the cc mint mark.
1 oz of silver For the 150 Pony Express anniversary 1860-2010.

 

Nice one For Sure !

 

Couple of my favorites out the second swap box.
This one is a bonus for the coin people as it housed the mints exhibit!

 

I like both of those, Circus. On the second one, do you know what the "F A / 10 11" means, and are the letters/numbers counterstamped ? Maybe the section of the building their exhibit is in? Great stuff!

Great stuff for sure. They made so many cool things for this expo. I started a small collection of them years ago but it got to the point that the prices were hard for me.

 

I too have a couple of other items along with some from other expo's These were along with the calendar in the swaps. since the pictures weren't good I was trading more on volume than the individual pieces.
As to the counterstamp yes I think that it was added possibly the day they attended the fair or they did it when they got home. But it could be anything I will have to see if there is anything on my book about that expo. it has been so long ago that I read it I don't remember much of what it covered.
I have to agree about the prices going, going, gone. If I don't buy other items I could save for them but I have too many interests. Better a couple of things in each area rather than one high dollar item that probably is worth the price!

 

The 1893 FOB is actually a well known fake/replica/counterfeit, that is being mainly sold in swap meets for anything between $1 and $5...

 

I really like oddly shaped tokens, like the scalloped billiard one you posted. That one has seen some use too!

 

Looks like a pocket piece, Jack. Maybe a good luck charm he carried.I wonder if it helped him.
