FSHO: Bryan Money collection tokens political exonumia

jonathanb

I don't collect Bryan Money but for some reason I ended up with a bunch of pieces as part of other purchases. Every time I bought another one, I put it to the side. Now I have a LOT of them, and they're big, and most of them are cast from lead or type metal or something similar. and I still don't collect them.

I'm looking to sell the group as a whole. I know there are some common pieces here. There are also some pieces that are very much NOT common, and some that are very high grade, or both. There are several pieces that are fully unlisted as well.

I think I got the attributions correct, but there are so many similar pieces that vary only by small details in their composition. I'll take a reasonable number of pictures if there are specific pieces that you want to see.

Asking $5,000 for 46 pieces:

Wow, that’s an impressive accumulation considering you never intended on collecting them! Good luck on the sale!

Yeah, it got sort of out of hand. There are two or three large groups, but also a bunch of onesies over the past ten years or so...

Could you post a few pictures I am not familiar with these. TYIA

Here's a few where I had pictures already. If I have to take pictures of everything, I might as well list them on eBay instead of here.
