Let's see your exonumia!

Another thing might be the way the spokes
flair at the ends. Seems like that would
really work well at keeping the wheel in
round. Maybe that is what he advertising,
superior spoking?

It could be a wheelwright stamp longnine. I just don't know who came up with the idea and if its backed by any research. You find this a lot in attributions of counterstamps...more conjecture than fact I'm afraid. BTW, the weakness on one or the other side of the punch is common for these issues. I would guess that the large size of the stamp made it difficult to strike evenly.

I have quite a few new military tokens but only a couple photos and this one isn't a complete embarrassment .



My focus is really Air Force but I thought the design and start cutout was cool. Cunningham lists it as TX340d.

 

Nice, and struck in nickel

Here's two nice encased coins I got from Jerry Adams from Keller, TX several years ago. These are two of the many personal issues he's had made over the years. He also counterstamped various coins "Jer. Adams / Keller, TX.". A nice 1955-D Lincoln Cent makes the first one even nicer.

I forgot I have a pic of one of Jerry's counterstamps. The "saddle" stamp is from an old set of 19th century punches in his possession. I think he told me there we're about 18 or 19 different ones.

Elongated quarter from the late
great Steve Kaden aka Catman.

 

Here's a nice medalet from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. It's a nice size at 32mm and it looks to be brass. I think these are fairly common, but interesting nevertheless.

Wowzers, if only the people that had that medalet had known what that one symbol on the reverse would do to condemn so much of the century of progress into utter devastation only a few years later.

 

I remember that Kyle had made some small silver tokens earlier, ca. in the late 1990s and he had them when we met at the Torex show in Toronto then.

 

Yes I have one but it's too small
for a cell pic. Those were the
1 Spark tokens.

Still waiting for Metro's glacial
movement connection to finish
downloading Bruce's images.

 

Well, maybe tomorrow Metro will
be able to down load faster than
Fukushima's first half life.

 

Yeah, it was such a positive thing before that madman turned it into an ugly, horrible nightmare.
