<p>[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2402342, member: 32619"]Here's two more and they're both pretty awesome for various reasons:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495296[/ATTACH] </p><p><i>TX481</i>, brass, 28mm, unlisted. I love finding tokens that predate the Air Force, and this one does. I also love finding tokens that are unlisted. When I find them and catalog them, part of me feels like I just contributed to the numismatic community...even though I know I haven't because no one knows except me and those on CoinTalk who read my threads about them. Cunningham records a No. 1<u>00</u> token...can't remember if it's brass or aluminum and I don't feel like digging out my book right now. I was actually holding off on posting this one until I finished writing up this base but I just took it's picture and wanted to share it anyway. This is my favorite token today. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495297[/ATTACH] </p><p>KR1420d, aluminum, <i>30mm</i>. Cunningham records the size as 28mm and this one is 30. It is possible my cheap $6 calipers are off. I've got a pretty big soft spot for bases I've been stationed at, with Osan being one of them. Osan is a great base and Korea is a magical place. One of my most favorite assignments - except for being away from my family for a year and the weather. It's too hot and humid in the summer and too cold in the winter. Fall lasts about three days and spring isn't long enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
