Let's see your exonumia!

I just bought this counterstamp from a Canadian collector last week. While I rarely buy foreign issues, other than Irish pieces, I pick one up on occasion. My favorites are these old English stamps heavily struck on a large copper Penny or Half Penny. The stamps are usually well struck and stand out on the copper surface. I can't find a listing for R. Poole in any reference but Brunk may know something about it. I'll send a picture to him later.

I absolutely ADORE the circus tokes!!! WOW

 

I don't know too much about
encased coins, but it sure looks like
they did this one backwards.

 

Most of the ones I have are the obverse on the side with the good luck message message on it. It appears I don't have any pic's of mine. The advertising on the few I have is always on the reverse.

 

Circus is right, most are oriented that way if I remember correctly. I like the pieces issued by coin shops or collectors like yours longnine.

Thanks for replies guys. Coral Ridge
was also where the Ft. Lauderdale Coin
Club held their monthly show-at the Coral
Ridge Mall before they relocated out west.
It was a nice set up in the middle of the mall's
entrance area-lot's of room to walk around
and look without having to sqeeze through
crowds and peer over shoulders. I really
miss that place and the way the show
was set up.

 

Here's some of mine, I don't think I ever showed these off before either. The hunchback man token is from the 1920's. The company who had them minted, Victory Sparkler Co. went out of business after being sued in 1930. The link is for all the legal eagles or anyone else who cares to read about it.

My medal earlier in this thread got some comments. Here is another one up for sale (a local coin shop in Ottawa is selling in their eBay store) - it is up for grabs this week.

That is a beauty!

 

HELLO EVERYBODY! any info on a 1954 roosevelt dime that has a mustache that looks like hitler would be helpful, thanks

 

Probably just punched in by someone who didn't like FDR. When that dime first came out there was a rumor going around tha JS stood for Joe Stalin.

 

FWIW - There's a hitler dime on Ebay

 

I sure have a lot of fond memories about those bicenntennial years. This one is from the Cupertino Coin Club. Brass, M/A, 38mm 19.8grms.

 

Conejo Coin Club. Antiqued silver, M/A, 35mm, 24.1grms, MACO 61 of 1,000. I bought this from Peggy Devine, wife of John Devine, aka Lonesome John Devine. Mr. Devine designed the medal when he was the club president. John Devine was an error dealer and "da man" when it came to error photography in the 70's. CONECA even has a photography award named after him. He also wrote a book on detecting counterfeit gold coins.

 

This large item was supposedly made for a television program:


Obverse: Miner with pan, LOST DUTCHMAN, 1860
Reverse: Rattlesnake, LOST DUTCHMAN MINES, FIFTY DOLLARS
Details: Bronze antiqued, 38mm, 34gm, Octagonal
