wow I looked them up.
Sure wish I had the whole set in good condition!!

Haven't looked them up.

 

Nice tip!

 

Nice set

 

Coin I squashed at the A A C A Museum in Hersey, PA

 

I've done a couple pennies this way in a machine at the Montgomery Zoo when I was in elementary school. Of course I don't have them now. Wish I did

 

That stinks. What happened there. That breaks my heart. I know you love trains. Was that the best you could do. I still have the one I did at Babe Ruth’s house. Was visiting Niece at Johns Hopkins. And an Orioles game. At new Camden Yards. Then to Washington Mind you. Babe Ruth’s. Was attended by all

 

Hey all! Not sure if I showed this to you. I thought @dwhiz would get a kick out of it.

 

I saw one of these and decided I needed to have one if I could find one at a decent price. It's an 1858 brass perpetual calendar medal with a rotating inner wheel on the reverse. The obverse has George Washington on horseback, with the legend, “ The Father of Our Country.” Engraved by Peter H. Jacobus, with initials, "P H J" in the grass below Washington's horse. Jacobus engraved this die in 1858 for a storecard issued by S.J. Bestor. The die was then used to produce this calendar medal. Price (on best offer) was $151 in an NGC slab, graded AU58. I've seen them ungraded / not as nice for $50 and up. I just think it's neat and I think this is a nice example!

I think this could be a New, Really, Really, Really Big, Major Error. If you can not say which is the obverse and which is the reverse, then, are they really there?

Two coin clubs apparently founded on the same day and holding their annual coin show on the same day. Presumably they split the cost of striking the medals.

Toned copper, M/A, 31mm, 15.87 grams

 

I've seen this medal before but don't own one.

More than likely they were sister clubs who conducted their coin shows together to save money and increase drawing power. I also imagine that they shared the cost of the medal.

Here's a couple John Matthews Soda Water Tokens, the bottom one unfortunately has seen better days condition wise but you can't always get what you want, we all learned that from Mick! The diameter of the bottom one is 42.6mm and 1/4" thick, quite the honker!

 

I like the first Matthews store card despite the wear. Otherwise, the token is problem free with a nice even brown color.

Yeah the 1863 is likely the more pricey of the two but the 1882 may be more rare, the condition sucks but that's okay, I like rare! Top link is about the 1882 and the bottom link is about various soda Tokens being collected!
