Let's see your exonumia!

Here's another Good Fellow Coin Club medal from 1969. A 1963 Coin World extract in the Newman NP said Good Fellow had 200 members. The Sixties must've been the top for coin collecting in the U.S.

I'm not sure what the inspiration was for the obverse of this medal. It looks like a combination of Immune Columbia, Machin's Mills, Amazonian Pattern, Seated Liberty and some 1960's movie starring Lee Remick's hair.

Toned copper, C/A, 32mm, 11.16 grams

That's an interesting token from a coin club I've never heard of...until now.

I don't know what the seated figure represents either, but it's probably just a symbol the original designer made up to represents the club.

You're right...the 60s were when the number of coin clubs exploded.

J.M. Boeh 8 quarts strawberry token Wathena, Kansas.

Possibly a unique specimen. I have searched worthpoint.com and have yet to find any others from past auctions. There is one pictured on tokencataolg.com and I discovered it is the same piece that I own! https://www.tokencatalog.com/token_...=538206&attribution_id=640688&record_offset=0




That's part of the reason why I love token collecting. You can buy ultra-rare pieces for a fraction of what a similar U.S. rarity would cost.

I bought the token above for less than $20!

 

Hey, @ZoidMeister I was in Rocky Mountain Coin the other day. The owner said that he had made 1000 of the RMC tokens. They used to randomly give them out and if the customer brought them back, they got a 5$ credit to a purchase.

 

Great info! Thanks for digging that up.

You know it, I know it, everyone knows that's one beautiful medallion. I mean, look at it. It's so pretty, just beautiful, so beautiful it's making medals great again and big, so big, it's enormous.......

 

I like the reverse anyways...

 

Believe me, this is huge, really, really huge.

Closed now. (Not slabbed, took the pics on top of one)

 

Go this about 4 years ago. Don't think I ever posted it here.

 

I saw this on eBay and had to have it, the image on the right is how the seller showed it, so I reversed it so I could read it.
