Let's see your exonumia!

Yeah, I can't remember the name on the reverse of mine. I'll have to dig it out and check.

Yours is a beauty! Mine has one little ding on the edge near 12 o'clock.

Seller's Pics: I've been looking for one of these for 14 months at least - one of the toughest issuers, and probably THE toughest from Columbus. The R-6 rating is misleading - these don't trade hands often. I'm fortunate to have snagged this one tonight. I'm unfortunate because I had to pay up for it, but there simply aren't many opportunities. As Mike Wolfe says, the time to buy it is when you see it.

 

That's a very interesting obverse on that token. I don't think I've seen a winged-cap obverse on a CWT before. Do you only collect Columbus tokens?

 

Hey Paul! I collect all CWT, but living in Columbus, theirs are of particular interest to me. I'm one issuer away from having at least one die pairing from each of the accepted issuers. The Market Exchange (Columbus) was listed in the 1ed and 2ed Fuld but is no longer considered a CWT - I'd need that one too, I suppose.

The winged Mercury is not an uncommon reverse design for Ohio CWTs - I have a couple of tokens with the same or very similar die. Outside of Ohio, however, they're not so common.

 

A random assortment I picked up

 

This has been sitting on my desk for years.

 

Without looking, guess who started this thread that is now at 269 pages. Now look.

 

I know without looking. I have used a certain program to keep him in control, and it has worked fine. Almost two years now. :>)

 

I know too, Kentucky. Well, we should give him credit for starting the thread.

Hi all, here's another French medal. Shooting medal by Bertrand. Don't know the year, but really thought the helmet was interesting.

 

Ugh, I HAD to look, now I am sorry

 

from a dutch local site:

 

Here is my Circleville, Ohio 1863 Civil War Storecard with a Mercury wad reverse. Grocers and Liquor Dealers. Quick pics with iPad.

 

Not a Mercury "wad"....Mercury Head.

 

Here's a neat medal from Brussels exposition.

 

Seller's pic: popped on this 1981 ANA Convention Medal (90th Anniversary in New Orleans)set this evening. I did a lot of research and it appears that 1981 is a tough year to come across. Set #322.

 

Had a couple of bucks left on my eBay so I bought this.

 

AUSTRIA MARIA THERESA SILVER THALER 1780 SF PROOF COIN restrike. I used this to take an image of the rim.
