    Yep! Works like a charm! I put 5 bucks worth of dimes in it and all the mechanisms worked perfectly. I'd say condition wise it's an 8.5 out of 10

    If I ever own my own business I'm going to make some of my own tokens to distribute. Those are cool!

    Staten Island Ferry, Atwood-Coffee NY632c, white metal, 4.3 grams, 24.5mm, M/A, Staten Island Ferry has been around for a long time-since 1817 according to wiki. They currently operate 8 ferries that move 66,000 riders every weekday. The very first Staten Island Ferry was named (of course) The Nautilus. :)

    I like how it has a ferry on the reverse.

    I can remember that there also was a brass token. But that was a long time ago.

    There some orange peel on it too. It's nice to know they struck enough of them to wear down the dies. :)

    Bet if you leave 'em in that corrugated cardboard for any length of time, you could create some nice "album" toning... ;)

    We'll see what happens as I'm leaving 2 NEN items in the cardboard.

    Since the topic of owls came up in another thread, here are some hobo carvings of owls I have on modern coins.

    (Or rather I did have. I still have the cent, but somebody else wanted the quarter pretty badly and threw enough money at me that I finally relented. Miss it, but I'll find another.)

    Anyone else participate in the Heritage Lincoln Auction this evening? I was pretty impressed with the pace, although it didn't leave much time for vacillation. I managed to walk away with one piece - I was a serious underbidder on another. Pics are from Heritage:
    lf.jpg lf (1).jpg
    Listed as a Civil War token, Fuld 127/201. I have the copper, which is listed at R.4. This one is listed as "nickel" in the catalogue. Fuld lists both white metal (R.9) and german silver (R.8) for the pairing. I'm leaning toward white metal based on the color. Happy to bring this little guy home to his off-metal brother, and I managed to get is for $25 less than my stop-bid. I'm also proud of myself for stopping on the other piece south of my stop-bid.

    Nice to have it in both metals! It's a good looking token.

    I like the wooden stamps, Eng. I believe I have some wooden flats from a coin club in Ft. Defiance. If I remember correctly, it was for an anniversary or club show they were putting on. I'll have to look them up to refresh my memory.

    Here's an interesting token I picked up a couple of weeks ago. It's not really a counterstamp, but it's a struck piece with incuse devices. Close enough for me.:)

    It's pretty much self explanatory. The company mostly made patent medicines as far as I could tell. This looks like a typical 1880s style token, though I couldn't find much on its history. I know they were still in business around 1900, but haven't found much more about them. Sorry for the picture...not the best.
