Let's see your exonumia!

Is that something over the ear or just wear? It looks like a plug but it doesn't go all the way through. If it's wear, it seems like too much compared to the rest. What is that?

I don't really know but I'll guess it's just wear. That area is the high spot in the design. Maybe it just didn't strike up. It's listed somewhere but I forgot what it is called. It's nothing rare.

CCOA or Coin Collectors Of America. While the medal gives the impression of a coin club, they were a coin supply company known as B B supplies. They gave out the medals upon request to anyone who placed an order and included 15c for handling and shipping. The plan was to produce a new design every year.

I saw a token from an ebay sale in this month's Talkin' Tokens that was "Good For One Whip Cracker." A whip cracker is a tip that gives the whip it's cracking sound. Wish I had bid on it.

 

I picked up another Henry Clay piece. It’s rough but the price reflected that

 

Messed up my last post and the pics got scrambled. Also got a clock token

 

@Pickin and Grinin
This is one of my top favorites. I really like the two strawberries design and it's slightly larger than a silver dollar!

Whats the composition?
Very cool!

 

All the strawberry tokens of this era were made of aluminum so they wouldn't weigh the picker down.
