Got a new 'keep your powder dry' Token, the first one is my old one and the bottom one is my new 1918 showing France! When these Tokens first came out after WWI they weren't terribly popular, but now they seem to be getting fairly popular, at least price wise!

 

Nice to see your tokens of a similar subject. This was for the boys on the home front.

 

Here's an 1883 Token that was delivered to me today, quite a wait but that's okay! It's a Knights Templar Token supposedly minted by the US Mint in Philadelphia. Apparently the US Mint used to get all kinds of private sector jobs. This one really shows it's age and it doesn't look much different than the sellers pics!

 

Looks like the face is the high point on these.

 

Nice chocolate brown copper!

 

A few new additions.

 

Very nice Chattanooga @alurid .

Best I've seen.

I just picked this up at last weeks CNG auction. They don't do a lot of US coins/tokens. I think that helped me pick it up at the opening bid. What is confusing to me is that this token sold at a Stacks/Bowers auction in 2020 for double what I paid for it.

Found the photos of my Chattanooga @alurid

But I was able to find nice examples of a few others. Chattanooga is a tough token to find in really good condition.

The same exact token, Chris B, or was it a different exmple? If it's the same one you got a great deal.

Mine is not as nice.

 

Same one. It is in a PCGS slab.

 

Your Dakota Territory is very nice. I see mine needs some attention.

 

I guess I'm really stretching what is "exonumia", but see the vehicle registration "token" from 1915.

 

Found this metal detecting with my dad Saturday.


Our best find yet

 

Works for me . . .

Nice, here's mine! Also, some Native American Tokens to add to my
indigenous page! Oh, and my first Lord of Baltimore Token and my LDS Token!

 

My latest "ancient" hammered coinage . . . .
