Bought this in a large lot of British tokens/medals a few years ago. Would like to know where to cash it in!

 

Well if you're ever in Baltimore you got a Guineess brewery and yes you can sit at the bar a have a pint or two.

 

@lordmarcovan Yep, those jetons came from John. Like I said pretty far outside of my normal collecting interests, but they're pretty cool.

 

The stone that was rejected has become the headstone of the corner.

 

Dug up a pressed coin that is a nickel. It's much whiter in hand.

 

Was is near Railroad Tracks?

 

Park under the sand. Very white looking oval disc. The photo is unnaturally dark
because I was trying to angle it so you could see Jefferson and Monticello.

 

Mine is rough shape but has die cracks on both sides as well as a 90 rotation from obverse to reverse. These pictures suck now that I upgraded my photo editor! Instead of just cropping it is now zooming in and pixelating the photo...but I already started this post so here they are until I find a new photo editor app...

 

I liked the reverse design

 

I don't have any idea when and where I picked this coin up. Guessing it's a coin from possibly the Philippines good for a beer in or around the military bases.

 

How neat! Looks like yours was plated? Am I correct or does the silver appear to be something else like paint?

Here's mine, though there's no trace of the plating if there ever was any:

MV130b, Philippines, Subic Bay

Paul Cunningham has these as a Maverick in his Military Trade Tokens: Volume 2 Overseas but also says "One source puts these at Subic Bay." I don't have my book handy right now to see if yours is listed. Let me know @VistaCruiser69 if you're interested and I'll dig up my reference when I have time.

I mentioned plating above because plated brass was a common overseas, like the one below:



I'm not super proud of that picture, but it does capture the plating wearing off on the high points.

 

Very interesting. Thank you for the information about this coin. The one I have is pretty worn out. Guess it was redeemed for lots of beers. I'd be curious to know how old it is though.

 

I'll get back to you tonight and see if yours is listed.

 

Finally got a decent photo editor and you can see the die cracks on both the obverse and reverse. Unfortunately I need to get some verdicare to treat the spot on the Saguaro cactus.
