Let's see your exonumia!

Images 0014-5 is a silver 2 ounce ingot celebrating the VW Bugs 25 Anniversary in the US. The second I found in a silver junk box years ago. I have tried to track down the celator with no success. Looks like some of Ron Landis' early work, but only the numi gods know.

Definitely Landis. Early Renaissance Faire strikes it looks like.

I was blessed by the Ebay gods last night and won an auction on some other Ron Landis items.

I got these at 60% of my max bid, which was a low ball bid to begin with.

I couldn't fall to sleep for about two hours after winning . . . .

Gotta love the serial number on these as well . . . . . .

Anyone know anything about these 2 tokens? I picked them up today. Each side is the same.on each piece.Thanks in advance.

 

Size camparison both tokens are silver but thin like a dime.

 

Here are some of my dug tokens!

 

The official "unknown tokens" . . . .

If I had to guess, they're some kind of gaming tokens except those are usually much earlier.

They look early 1900's, late 1800's.

The date is the head scratcher.

Thanks Z

 

When a manufacturer or co-op provider of gambling or pinball devices placed their machine or took an order for tokens they would supply a number of tokens to use until the order arrived. Some folks call those MSA for Manufacturers' Stock Arcade
They are difficult to impossible to attribute to a single location because the same number could be used in multiple states. The dated token may be found as a patent in the records and was probably used as either a free sample to drum up business or was carried as a salesman's sample to show prospective customers what their order would look like. The one on the right might fetch five dollars from a die sinker collector if they don't already have one. The one on the left has a base value of twenty five cents.

 

Thank you. Very informative

 

A bit of an upgrade to a piece that I already have.

Here's an 1850 Token with the date! Pretty scarce to see these 1850's Tokens with a date so it's a big deal to me! I'm still having pic issues so I'm posting the sellers pics, size is a tad bigger than a quarter at 27.5mm.

 

won these last night, 4 inexpensive tokens (I never use cheap). It will be interesting to see how they look in hand. Yep sellers images

 

Yep very nice, I have one of them Cal-Neva Tokens somewhere around here. That First Transcontinental Token looks really nice!

 

Now, this is MY KIND of token . . . . .

Sign me up!

Check out this thread:

The crossed swords indicate that is made by Meisen.

 

Thanks much for the link. I'm guessing my find is more of a commemorative medal than a notgeld. Mine doesn't have a value on it, but does have the Meissen crossed swords.

Very good information.

you're welcome

 

I'm not usually able to acquire examples this nice.

Another "upgrade" . . . . .
