I need to thank you again for that Stone Mountain Commemorative medal.

I would love to have one too.

 

@coin_nut
Sorry I'm all out of them.
I had a bunch and gave most of them to my family and my last one to Mr. Z.

 

No sweat, I will search around.......it's a small world after all....

 

I saw one of fleaBay late last night, but it was way overpriced.

I'll try to dig up a link.

Let's return to saints: Peter and Paul on a medal with a loop in the first year of pope Pius VIII (1829)

 

Beauty!

 

Thank you Pickin and Grinin!

 

This one is on its way to me: a uniface meganummus of Constantine. It is three (!) inches across and weighs eight(!) ounces. Fairly well executed and no idea who made it and for what purpose.

 

I found a few of these Italian Telephone Tokens in a bag of coins that a friend gave me. I think they're interesting.

 

Back in the seventies when there was a shortage of coins in Italy, these tokens traded for ten Lire which was practically next to nothing. In shops you would also be given sweets instead of change; yeah, I'm getting old....

 

Ok here are some from metal detecting.
Token for purchase of furniture
ESSO GAS key return fob
Token for free bar of Palmolive soap
Bottle exchange at Camp Stewart (now Fort Stewart)
Brothel token

 

Ok here’s a few more found metal detecting

pay scrip for shrimpers
Smokey the Bear
Shriners token
Trade token for a Naval store (term refers to companies that process long leaf pine sap into turpentine, resins, etc for naval use)

Smokey the Bear

 

Posted this one before but just messing around with the editor app to crop.
