Let's see your exonumia!

Saw a previous post for a similar from PA, so showing this example and recovery of 'New Hampshires Award For Service In World War', 1919. Finely detailed with 'Old Man of the Mountain', Eagle, and insignia of all military branches including not just Army, Navy, Air Corps, and Marines, but others including Engineers castle, Medics caduceus and some others I haven't IDed, Reverse is the NH state seal showing the construction of The Frigate USS Raleigh at Portsmouth shipyard, commissioned by George Washington in 1773. One of my all time favorite finds, there is very little information available on this award.

My Favorite restrike, a Bashlow Continental Currency in .999, 2000 were struck then dies were donated to Smithsonian.

 

My second favorite restrike, Mass Half Cent, from what I've gathered struck by a Springfield Ma coin dealer by the name of Evans or Evanson in the 1940s. Note 'E' above north star.

 

I haven't checked the thread in a couple of days and see I've missed a lot. Nice stuff guys! I have a couple of Masonic medals to post. I've had these both for about 15 years and just "rediscovered" them lately.

'The Wright Flyer' medallion, plain reverse.

 

Seated love token from the Tibbets farm.
My digger slipped while probing thru an iron filled brickpile at this 1800s homesite, tossing this coin ten feet into the brush, found it later setting on the surface where it had landed,
I knew I heard a signal in that pile

 

I dedicate this one to Billy Joel.
Bronx Coin Club. 1937, white metal
( I think that's tin) C/A, 11.3 grms,

Nice medal dwhiz! I like the doubled fives and, of course, the bear.

The bear is awesome!

 

Two more "booze" tokens I found in my stash. The reverse die of the Payton's token was cut by Meyer & Wenthe of Chicago. Their designation number on Token Catalog is TC-106542.

I think these are better pics of the World's Fair LIRR token

 

Is that a cancellation hole on
the Mayfair Mills Store token?

 

Excellent question!

I don't know very much about these kinds of tokens. Maybe one of the more knowledgable members can tell us.

 

This one arrived on Thursday. A nicely struck example of the common 176/271 Fuld dies token. I also liked the character and toning, and the very clean surfaces.

 

These are two quarter-size tokens (read across for obverse and reverse of the same token) from Princess Cruises. They are used interchangeably in the "penny falls" machine, and, I am told, on one ship in the laundry room for passengers. I think the bottom one is the older one, but that's just a guess.

This is an 1806 British penny which has been counterstamped. It has been punched as well, and came on a key ring with three or four other coins. I did not buy the group for this one, but ...
