Hello,

I just wanted to hello, My name is Charles and I am an avid collector of Texas material. Texas banknotes, Texas Gov't and Republic Currency, and Texas trade tokens. I have been collection for about 10 years and hit most shows in Texas when the job allows. I purchase alot of peices from John Rowe and am an active bidder on most Heritage lots of anything having to do with Texas including civil war and other historical documents. I just recently purchased a raw 1818 1/2 Real "Jola" and am looking to hopefully expand into other area. Just wanted to say hello. Howdy.

Any pics of the Jola? Not a piece usually seen around these parts, but an interesting piece nonetheless!

Oh, and Welcome

........

.........May want to turn on your privite message link,at some point............

....Maybe, if able, to post some pictures

TexasToken · January 4, 2011 9:29AM

Pretty sure I turned on the private message setting, sot sure how to use it, but it is on. I will have to try and take pictures of the coin, all I have is the sellers photos, which are marked as his and I don't know if he wants me to share them as it was a private sale and the photos have his name on them, so I will take pictures with my crummy camera and post them.

edit: you can see my camera work on my icon, not the best

Welcome, sir. There's a lot to learn here, and a lot of fun. But, you must have thick skin sometimes.

RichieURich · January 4, 2011 9:55AM

Welcome to the Forums, TexasToken! I hope you find them informative and enjoyable.

The 1818 jola is one tough coin to find! Do you think any 1817's will ever be discovered?

TexasToken · January 4, 2011 11:05AM

Texas Nationals- yep, Dyncorp- you were Xe(BW) maybe we know each other................

nankraut- I have really really thick skin, I appreciate the heads up

RichieURich- actually there are at least 2 if not 3-4 known as rumored, I have seen one and all are in copper, most agree they are legit

Superb avatar. Looks like EoTech on the top . . . a Streamlight up front (??--too distant to tell), and a nice foregrip (MagPul??).

DPMS SASS here with a Nightforce 5.5x22 (56) in .308. A bit heavier, but I love spittin' 168g. GMM HPBT ammo out of it. The thing is 1/2 MOA all the way out to 800m.

Have fun here . . lots of info, lots of great Board members, and lots of chances to make yourself a great numismatist!!!
