[QUOTE="BRandM, post: 2458659, member: 22729"]Thanks for showing your tokens, Paddy. As you might gather I enjoy all types of exonumia, especially tokens and counterstamps. Interestingly, once a coin is stamped, it becomes a token and is no longer considered a coin, by collectors at least. Modern coins that still circulate of course still have face value, buy unofficially they're tokens. The Butlins piece is intreresting to me. As far as the badges go; Are they issued as a membership to the camp...unlimited access, season pass, or for some other purpose? In the States, entertainment facilities like this always push that type of thing. Access for a certain period of time for X number of dollars. Good marketing, I suppose. I like your gaming tokens also. I have a few in my collection, but I don't actively collect them. Would these be considered jetons, or is that a different thing all together? By the way, Paddy, I agree with you about the MS-69 slabbed coins. I love "blue collar" coins and tokens. I have little interest in something that's spent it's life in someones dresser drawer. No fun there, I think. Bruce[/QUOTE]
