@Nathan401 Nope, Michigan. Ran across that one some years ago really cheap as I recall.

 

I gonna have to look up that sparky, advertisement.
Nice!

 

This is one of nine presidential Medals that I found while searching Fakes at a Chinese store in the mall. They are magnetic about the size and weight of 1 oz bullion

 

Here is a recent pick up from eBay. It appears to be a nickel alloy of some sort and is one of the German inflation/hyperinflation type medals. I don't have one of the other ones (yet) with the same obverse but with the hyperinflated prices for the same basic items.

 

Question guys:

What is the definition of store card? I guess I always imagined they were cardboard.

 

I always thought of script as paper or light cardboard. But I've seen the term "metallic script" used for coal tokens.

 

"What is the definition of store card? I guess I always imagined they were cardboard."

I have found that this is ans will be one of those terms that can start a loud and lengthy discourse. I have to agree, they can be metal, plastic, fiber. Readers Digest has sent out tokens in metal,plastic and cardboard tokens. The store cards can be the same. Although
the purist will get their knicker in a knot, over it which can be fun to watch them color change in the face when you bring it up.
Are the military POG's not used as money or coin of the realm? So by just the usage definition, they are US coins. Yet some collectors will argue that they aren't true US coinage. Just because of the non traditional material used.

 

Here's a pretty unusual find. Another by Alphee Dubois. Silver Medal Presented to a French Senateur. https://translate.google.com/transl...pedia.org/wiki/Alph%C3%A9e_Dubois&prev=search

 

That is a really nice medal. You don't see them too often. They are usually presented to the judges at juried shows.

Had these in my "junk box". Sorry for the dark photos.

 

Nice!
Box to add value!!!

 

These Oklahoma tax tokens were from a batch of coins I inherited from my Uncle, a WWII Vet that served in the Pacific during WWII. I don't recall where I got the "OPA" red piece. Most likely something from Littleton as a freebie back in the 70's.
