I was informed about the miss labeling, of the wedding medal by the LCS. Which with their growing world coin counter is surprising. But it still is a good looking piece.
Here is a 10¢ good for Merchandise token, From the Robinson Run Store, of the coal mine company of the same name. The reverse has "The Osborn Register co, Cin O" and a script of "ORIC"
If I remember looking in Krause's wccat this one is cupro-nickle and I can't answer the first on since I am not a coin collector us or other wise just tokens and medals along with what ever exonumia falls my way.
EMPIRE COIN COMPANY, INC. PROFESSIONAL NUMISMATISTS (Dave Bowers & Jim Ruddy) Blackened copper, C/A, 11.6 grms, 28mm New York
This counterstamped quarter was issued to members of the Northeast Ohio Coin Club probably in the early 1960's. The club was founded in 1962 and is still active today as far as I know. It looks like they stamped new rolls of Washington Quarters as this example looked to be nearly Unc. when stamped. This is one of the small number of modern counterstamps that Brunk lists in his book (N-6). Bruce
This one is for Green18 Long Island Coin Club. [I think in Massapequa] Founded Feb. 1953 Commemorates the 32nd Dinner Dance 1985. Over-struck on Franklin half and a second one over-struck on a JFK. M/A 12.6grms expanded from 30.6mm to 32mm.
I have an example of your counterstamp longnine also overstruck on a Kennedy Half Dollar. The Long Island Coin Club issued a lot of exonumia over the years, including at least two more overstruck issues and some rolled cents celebrating various milestones. There's also a Massapequa Coin Club but don't know if it has any ties to the L. I. club or not. I have a counterstamped coin that they issued as well. Bruce
As for the pre-decimal 20th century pieces (1 crown = 5 shillings), some say "Crown", others say "Five Shillings", and others do not mention the denomination. You will know the Churchill Crown (1965); that one for example was made in Cu-Ni only. After the decimalization in 1971, 1 crown was 25 (new) pence. As far as I know, all crowns issued in those years did not indicate the face value. Well, the size did not really "fit" - it was way bigger than the 50p coin for example. So in 1990 the crown was replaced by a £5 that had basically the same specifications. These newer ones usually say "Five Pounds". So yes, the piece in #763 is actually a coin. It was issued in a regular version (Cu-Ni) and a silver proof version. Christian
