Let's see your exonumia!

First time I've seen a rolled English penny, let alone a very rare one. Nice acquisition!

Encased 1904 Indian Cent - 1904 St Louis World’s Fair Good Luck

I just received this encased Indian cent (for free). A friend of a friend thought I would like it (and I do). This 1904 is a popular encased cent and there are many listed on Ebay:

Does anyone else at CT have this particular good-luck piece?

 

REPLICA CENT BRACELET

Here is a little exonumia. Each of the little cent replicas are dated 1964.

 

I'm gonna try One More Time to show only ONE view of each face of this medallion! Third time is a charm?

This is one of eight miscellaneous medallions I acquired today from a local pawn shop selling out & quitting business. Sweet deal for the quantity; others will be posted here in the coming few days.

When you get a UFO, a SeaHorse and a Mermaid on one slab of bronze, there's gotta be one heck of a story...Doesn't there?

This might be a better place to ask...

I googled 'FG token' and was shown the Boston Fairgrounds. Has anyone been there and noticed these FG tokens anywhere? Along with that, is there a 'Mike Endway' there? A google search turned up nothing for me. The third design element I see punched into this is a pattern: SSS * SSS * around its circumference. Has anyone seen this design on a token before?

 

That's a 10 Sen

Looked in the amusement token book for Mass nothing listed, with either of the markings. Nothing under the letter only list or unknown list. Nothing in the tokens and medals book or the whitman red book for tokens either.

 

Wow, thanks for checking Circus

 

I really like a lot of those Society of Medalists medals...

Edit: I've been going down a rabbit hole of medal information right now and I'm so excited by what I'm learning. Big thanks for sharing these links!

 

Here is the latest pick up out the treasure box 50% off box @ the LCS, it was noted that it was on a silver coin.

 

Some more from the bargain bin at the LCS, during the Christmas in July sales and deals. another good day a hunting!

 

I have no idea what the purpose is for this.... but I just got it so enjoy!

 

Most states and locals have laws that prohibit minors from viewing either live peepshows, or video's. These adult tokens, sex tokens or heads or tails tokens. Like this one called heads I win tails you lose.(flames are added for forum) If this violates the forums rules please feel free to remove it.


are used in the adult arcade machines that are set up to reject coinage, This way they can control what and who is watching the equipment or live shows. So they stay in the law. since they have a person working the counter that sells the tokens.
The designs are such that they are hoping that people will buy more to take with them, carrying them as pocket pieces.
Same with the H&T tokens. I'm glad that I can buy them in lots from token dealers, as more people never have seen them in their natural habit of the adult book/arcade shop. So when I show them "A TOKEN" they want it or want to buy it on the spot!

So that's the story on these tokens.
