Here's a huge SNAC medal from 1962. It's pretty impressive at 60mm. I love the portrait of Lincoln too.

Looking at a bulk lot of tokens in an auction.
Anyone know what this is please?

 

I'm not entirely sure but maybe a half lire Italian token?

 

I thought similar but couldn't find anything on the www

 

A couple new arrivals. A Netherlands counterstamp and German love token!

 

Very nice counterstamp, Joshua. I'm not familiar with it but it looks like an official mark to me...not a merchant or private stamp. Do you know by chance?

I don't really know and the person I purchased it from wasn't entirely sure either. What I did know is I liked it! I know anchor marks were employed by the Dominican Republic in the late 18th century on Spanish cobs, but was unable to find this specific one. But, the anchor was also used as a privy mark on French coins of the period and interestingly in 1822 an attempt was made to unite the entirety of Hispaniola joining the Spanish Dominican Republic and French Haiti. So a possible connection there. Also the seller found reference that it may have been a military/navy counterstamp. I agree in thinking it is quite a nice stamp and probably official as well. I'm full of ideas, but no concrete evidence... yet!

I like it, but the Carr nay sayers are gonna kick and scream.

 

Lost out on this little lot last night. There were a few gems but lots of duplication
