    Thanks for the comments, Bruce. The scallop mark is such that was often used on silverware. The "T.H" is anyone's guess. This piece may have circulated, but it wasn't used as an advertisement or "tiny billboard" like many other counterstamps were. Looks to me that Dimond simply tested his punches on this one. It could take me years to locate a spoon, bearing a matching mark! ;-)

    I found a bunch of interesting things at the VNA show yesterday. For the first batch, here are the love tokens and a pop out (repousse). I have a great love token with Papa on it so I rounded out the family. The one on the top left I bought just because it’s on a no-stars dime.

    This is a beer token from the 1995 Grey Cup (Canadian Football League championship) in Regina, Saskatchewan. I was there. You could not buy a beer directly, you had to buy a token and exchange it for a beer. If I recall, it was $3.50 and much too cold for beer. Between a nickel and a quarter in size.

    This was given to me today by my friend, who is
    the widower of the deceased. It is a cremation tag, and serves to identify cremated remains and prevent mix ups. Diameter 31 mm, thickness 1 mm. More info here:

    Hopefully this is not in poor taste and if it is offensive to anyone, well, too bad. You must be responsible for your own experience of life, or death.

    I always liked apothecary weights, Circus, but like a lot of other issues, I don't have any. Do you know what the "M" in the diamond shape means? The manufacturer, maybe?

    Like in court one has to take hearsay with some salt, I was told by a dealer that I trust that yes it is the maker and they were located in both cities. thats my story and I'm sticking with it:cat:

    I made a video so that this SC$1 proof like fields can be appreciated. Purchased raw due to its eye appeal and then submitted to NGC with a top pop result.
