Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez has put together a list (https://www.pcgs.com/news/13-perfect-us-coins-for-numismatists-who-love-halloween) for PCGS of "13 Perfect U.S. Coins for Numismatists Who Love Halloween". The two here depict some reportedly haunted locations in America. The Old Swedes Church shown on the Delaware Half hosts 30-minute Ghosts in the Graveyard tour. Antietam is said to be one of the most haunted Civil War landmarks and a major destination for ghost hunters. Check out the link and let us know if there are any you would add to the list. We may even feature your choices on our social media!

My Carson City "Pumpkin" coin. The old CC mint building has to be haunted....Doesn't it?

numismagram · October 29, 2019 10:31PM

A couple WWII-era cast iron medals from Guido Goetz (the son of famed medalist Karl Goetz) on the sinking of British ships, the SS Athenia and the HMS Courageous... 💀

The colored one is mine. The others are from @felinfoel . Hopefully PCGS will slab these @dcarr pieces one day

I remember seeing here a token with a person or skeleton hanging from a tree that I though was creepy.

@JohnnyCache that hobo nickel is really well done. I love that one

Onastone · October 30, 2019 6:44PM

Yeah, I've gotta get me one of those Hobo Nickels.

Halloween coins...I remember way back when, in grade school, the teachers had us trained to hold out a little coin box and say, "Trick or treat for Unicef." Then we would return the box full of dimes to the school. Halloween coins!

messydesk · October 30, 2019 7:03PM

So is our host breaking out the special labels tomorrow?

Kliao · October 30, 2019 7:09PM

That’s a cool looking label

Not a coin but a very imaginative creation shamelessly lifted from reddit.
