Here is my best find of the day.

 

I wish could find a medal with this:

Is this the kind you mean?

Obverse

Reverse

 

That's close. The image I posted is a Puma which I guess is related to a cougar or mountain lion. But it's the pose and the psycho looking eyes on that Puma that I like. BTW, that is a nice looking medal. Everything you post here is cool stuff.

 

The only cats I know are rescue cats our 4house kitties, and 2 feral ones that stop by for food and water each day.
And thanks I generally only buy what I like as far as medals are concerned. I know there are some that look for the more historically important ones. And that is fine by me

 

Went to the LCS with the national rep Abbots, to pick up a holiday silver round for the grandbaby's 1st Christmas I will post a photo of the round tomorrow. I asked the one guy if they had any tokens he said they had two. these are the two couldn't pass either of them up.

A real store card and it is from Michigan to boot. I haven't looked it up in Cunningham book yet.

This was the other one, it is a small town very close to the one I live in and a nice find. And another so called half dollar.

They have a copper token made up very year and they give them out. This is the 2013 version. I have posted others I have picked up before.
Turned out to be a great day, despite the world and life trying to crap on me today!

 

Britannia looks like she had a tough
day too. Nice looking pieces!

 

I looked up your CWT in Fuld, Circus, and its designation no. is MI180A-1a and is an R-5. Kanzinger estimated its value as about $50 in his 2002 reference. All the information is old so there may have been some changes over the years for value and price. Nice pickup.

Thanks, The guy did say that he was new to the business at the shop and he looked surprised when I said I would take it for $5.00 his reasoning for the price was it was over 100years old!
I did notice that the reverse the letters are loose reverse stamps for the die. that's why some of the letters look off and not all in a straight line. to think that they sectional dies back then, with what they had to work with. it is pretty cool.

 

Wow, $5.00 is a good deal for the CWT Circus. The dies for the series were cut by dozens of different sinkers, many known, but some not. That makes for a wide difference in the quality and look of the tokens. Of particular interest to me are the dies produced by Henry Higgins of Mishawaka IN., known as the "Indiana Primitives" because of their crude workmanship. CWTs are a fascinating series to collect.

Here is another silver round I found @ the LCS yesterday, for the first grand baby to go with his year of birth ASE.

And two more art bars that caught my eye.


All of them around $2.00 above spot

 

Great token brg5658! Looks like it might be a tad better than a 65 to me. New pickup?

Bruce

 

Yep, new within the past month or so. I think the grade is held back because the planchet is likely a bit wedge -- so the very bottom of the reverse is weak...still has great eye appeal and I had a hard time passing it up.

 

Yeah, I see the weakness now. Still a great token though.

Bruce

 

Not sure this is exonumia, but it is coin and currency related...i collect coin and currency bags. My new pickups...

National Bank of Commerce Seattle
Peoples National Bank of Washington
People National Bank of Washington..

Bank of Hawaii...Honolulu..

So Arizona Bank of Tucson..Nogales..
First National Bank of Oregon..

 

Yes under the definition of exonumia it sure is. Have to see if I still have the bank bags I picked up in the late 60's And at the time used for rock collecting. They made great specimen bags.
