Shout out to @habaraca for letting these girls come live in my collection for awhile 👍
I don't remember if he ever posted any of these, so I'll have to be the one to share..
I thought Pitcher, possibly from an early day baseball team?
Bust halves predate baseball somewhat... but you do see dated bust tokens from well past the time bust coins were produced.

When I looked at it I thought last name Morris and either two first names or a first and middle name.
Now is that still a CBH
Some very interesting coins - I have not collected marked coins beyond Chop Marked Trade Dollars.... Some are very nicely done - too bad that for the most part, the history is lost. Cheers, RickO
Wow @Treashunt 🤯
I thought it was just @BustDMs@habaraca and myself that stashed these things away... you've got so many cool ones!
I'd love to know more about some of these (leather strap piece is a14-107a maybe ?)... and of course see more if you have more!

I'll have to try to find pictures.
Oh, and for the leather strap one; I believe either a luggage tag or a watch fob
and I had thought for ages that I was the only one to get them
I got briefly excited about this area (much like the many new posters with their corroded pennies..😂)
Was seeing massive die corrosion but realized it has to be environmental. Perhaps a fire?

Some neat artifacts. The one engraved Morris, do you think those are first names, Clinton and Pitchea(?) like husband and wife?
4 new sisters for the convent.

A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

The Clinton Morris, Pitcher is a very interesting design! I like the way the kept the legend.
All new girls for the convent? @BustDMs

Yes, my latest purchases. All upgrades. I really like the crustiness.

The fun part is that when I first got a few of these they were very cheap, since dealers considered them damaged.

Does the "luggage tag" have anything on the reverse?
Oh, you only wanted to see damaged pieces. Hope these fill the bill.
