Let's see your exonumia!

I did a bit more research on Wing. The "Julian Mills" brand was his, and as a result he became a very wealthy man. Someone estimated at the height of his business career he was worth up to $50,000,000. WOW! What a pile of money that was in those days.

Bruce, I hope you're keeping records of all your work. I know how much more meaning research adds to my token collection and I think when the day comes when your stuff needs to be sold this information may bring higher prices.

 

It arrived today, I was concerned about the reverse side of the slab, but it's not as bad as the sellers photos.

They could have at least graded it!

 

SLIGHTLY better date.

 

I photograph most everything in my collection and print anything I know on the back of the page. I also keep files on pieces I have more information on.

Yeah, what's with that, Jack? Cheap b@$&@#%^s!!

Found this today and thought it looked bad but better than his dollar portrait.

 

Is the second image really gun-metal blue? It's nice looking.

 

Just checked my ANACS order they have shipped (sooner than I expected) here are the grades:
WINGED LIBERTY 10C 68 Antiqued
STANDING LIB 25C 69 Antiqued
WALKING LIB 50C 69 Antiqued
WINGED LIBERTY 10C 69 Satin
STANDING LIB 25C 69 Satin
WALKING LIB 50C 70 Satin ( The 1st 70 on this item)
I'm not surprised at the 68, my fault.
But it's the first 70 I've received on a Dan Carr item

 

Nope nice shinning silver Phone case is blue, When I take photo's some days I'm the windshield and some days the bug. I can't seem to get the same looking pic's when I take them

 

This a drink coaster, I think. It is about 5 inches across.

 

Really cool looking Deshler Hotel fob up there, I have one as well but the kids nose on mine is all flattened out, still a keeper to me. lol Here's a couple of my new additions, one is from New Zealand-Milner and Thompson Christchurch, Maori Warrior Token, 1880-81, has a little funk on the reverse, oh well. ~Cheers!

 

So I'm a little sad that my thread with a bunch of tokens went unnoticed...it's ok. Things get burried quickly, especially if you're not posting about a die crack in some modern coin that millions are minted...sigh...oh well. I know you guys will enjoy a few of these:

 

well I and a number of others enjoy seeing them, I don't give a rat's backend about die cracks or toning or other stuff on spending money. I got what some would call a very nice toned state quarter in change today I was going to post it and tell em that it was going into a roll of quarters!

 

Collecting what makes you happy trumps collecting what is popular.

 

You are so right @longnine009 ! Who knows, maybe in 40 years these tokens will be all the rage!

Here's a couple tokens. I can't remember if I posted them or not.


AZ131 Davis-Monthan AFB, aluminum, unlisted


KS370j, aluminum, 35mm, 2,000 ordered June 1969


ME120d, aluminum, 22mm


ME120e, aluminum, 28mm


ME120f, aluminum, 35mm


This challenge coin was bought as a companion piece to my occupationally related challenge coins. The piece of equipment on the obverse is known as a fuel bowser. They're used to collect fuel from aircraft drains. This one in particular is designed to use suction to hold the hoses in place for bottom draining tanks. We used them at McChord and we're going to get some here at Mildenhall. It's a pretty neat device. I have it in hand but that's the sellers picture.

 

Just for the fun of it I'll post my occupational challenge coins:
