Let's see your exonumia!

Guess that the M. is short for Monsieur = Mister, and that the medal was given to Jean Dupuy, minister of agriculture until 1902 ...

Nice Carr fantasy pieces, so that's what a Morgan looks like with no bag marks! Sure look like the real thing.

 

Thanks a lot chrisild, most appreciated! I searched forever, kept hitting a brick wall. The M just didn't match any of my research.

 

Northumberland Newcastle-on-Tyne halfcrown token by Robertson, 1811

 

The mark on the stripes is a die gouge or,tooling mark?

 

This is one I dug up years ago, came from a beach in the Nathan Bedford Forrest State Park On the TN River. I cant find much info on this at all.

 

Which isn't surprising as both small construction companies and arcades seem to have a short life span. Construction companies due to their work and number of others in the area. And the arcades due to low traffic in the doors, Googling it The population was 3,582 at the 2010 census. If it was open at the height of pac man, it rode the wave till it burned out and home vid games came down and put a lot of arcades out of business. If it didn't have anything else to pay the bills, not even a footnote in local history! Doesn't appear to be much of a tourist place other than the fresh water pearl farm and outlet the couple of parks and Patsy Cline Crash Site Memorial

 

Yeah, Its kind of a hole in the wall. not much going for it. I lived there for a few years. They do have a 30 mile yard sale on labor day weekend every year.

 

Check out this silver tribute medal. Herman Mac Neil original design for the Standing Liberty Quarter. http://www.usacoinbook.com/encyclopedia/coin-designers/hermon-a-macneil/

 

Arrived in the mail today--paid a bit too much on eBay, but the timing was right to buy it. Looks much nicer than I was expecting from the photos, so pleased.

Note the difference between April and November.

 

The designer of these "hunger medals", Friedrich Wilhelm (Fritz) Hörnlein, worked as a designer and engraver at the mint in Muldenhütten, Saxony by the way. He also designed various coins ...

So the post above yours is a "hunger medal"? I can kind of read it. I guess it commemorates hyper-inflation following WWI in Germany? It's a very interesting medal and looks very nice @Stork .

 

Thanks

Here are the reverses side-by-side, April vs. November:

 

I'm sure the one on the right is more true to "in hand" appearance.

 

Not exactly exonumia, but I bought it at a coin shop. Sterling silver pin, Strategic Air Command.

 

On a similar note, I took this picture of my Uncle's Navy ID bracelet this weekend. He was a parachute rigger and served in the Pacific theater in WWII.
