Let's see your exonumia!

Beautiful, I had to get one ( G.P.) but don't care.

I was told by the seller that this is an engravers token to show his skill, not sure of age, but young Victoria make my think it fairly old. The detailing is really amazing.

 

Nope, almost identical

 

Here's a really interesting medal. 1878 American Institute. The awarded engraving on back is awesome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Institute_of_the_City_of_New_York https://books.google.com/books?id=v...QAhVhlFQKHYM8AgEQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

 

Real nice!

 

Whitehead & Hoag produced a lot of medals in the 20th Century, most of which were in (common) white metal.

I just happened to stumble across this post by dumb luck because I don't always catch the additions to this "Exonumia" thread.

According to my First Edition (1995) of A Collector's Guide to Nevada Gaming Checks & Chips by Howard & Kregg Herz this chip mold design is #40 (HHL) Horse Heads Left by Langworthy & Co with the standard check inserts, 3 - 1/4.
This particular chip from the Nevada Club is shown on p. 203 and was produced from 1959-1969. What I find most interesting is that the chip does not provide any space for a serial number.

Thanks for posting this!

Chris;

The reverse doesn't have the room. Perhaps that is the photograph they used?

 

I believe it is called a "Blank Planchet".

I agree with @saltysam-1 ! You have some lovely medals.

Unfortunately, you will have a difficult time trying to find any one comprehensive catalog that provides information for all of your medals. For example, the Paris Mint produced annual catalogs listing most of their products, but these catalogs are very hard to find. If you wanted to put together a set for the entire 19th Century, you could easily spend several thousand dollars.

Ah so!

Thanks!

Thanks Chris, always great info from you. In that case, I guess I will just have to make do with internet searching for info...

 

Really like the toning on this Bronze Teddy Roosevelt medal. Barber obverse and Morgan reverse.

 

This one is made from a hard plastic or Bakerlite material.

 

Odd denominations are awesome!

 

Nice!
