I just ran across Robert Groner of NumisCard.

Anyone purchase and use their postcards?

Here's one of the olde Clark Gruber Mint building. This number 2 of a 4 card set.

    I have seen postcards with the year of printing on them, not on this one though. Modern or vintage? @dcarr may be interested since it is depicting Clark Gruber & Co.

    I have thought about making themed postcards, but my printer is in need of replacement...at least an upgrade to the twenty-teens. Those of you who have received packages from me can back me on this...not quite dot-matrix, but messy bubble jet.

    I did not know there were numismatic themed post cards. I know people collect post cards, but those are usually area oriented, or theme focused. Cheers, RickO

    @Zoins Not only is that postcard cool but it would make a great engraved coin image for sure. History++. Peace Roy

    Numismatic postcards are the best. This one is technically a Christmas card, but my all time fav from @CoinRaritiesOnline

    That's a great one!

    It would be nice for Dan @dcarr to make a token like that :)

    As long as he doesn't overstrike them on genuine Merriam Civil War tokens!

    Haha, I'm thinking he should make the reverse a Dan Carr Die Sinker store card!

    Never thought about this topic before. Just did a eBay search on postcard coin and there are a ton of postcards depicting coins and medals for sale. All of them "raw" by the way, so buyer beware. :)
