~ Tokens for Tuesday... Post some Exonumia ~

Broadstruck

Newp early die stage 1838 Daniel Webster HT-24 / Low-66.

Never seen an example of this token before with sail lines on all 7 sails... as most all examples have about 4 smooth sails with no lines.

Dies by John Gibbs show a steer on the reverse whose significance is unknown today.

Bear with me through the show and tell photo series. There is exonumia involved eventually.

PS- the preceding three posts were great. The HTT in the OP is one I wasn't previously familiar with, but I like it! Great, great love token from savoyspecial- that had better not be on a Seated dime or he's in trouble for holding it back from me! And what's not to love about a counterstamped double eagle? Makes me think of Dixon's gold coin that they found aboard the wreck of the CSS Hunley- a coin that I think is more significant historically than the 1804 dollar.

I just got this today, silver alloy 23mm, 3.5mm thick. Hand engraved dies and hand struck by Andy Price, of Confederate Mining Co. in South Carolina.

Very very interesting find there, Lord!

I posted this particular token on a separate thread, but this is a different image of the same Conder....

lordmarcovan

Oh, wow. Penny Lady just knocked my eyeballs out.

I don't think I've had this one on before.

The relief and design on that Columbus medal are wow Wow WOW!

Stuff like that could definitely drag me deeper into exonumia, perhaps beyond the point of no return. (I've already got a toe in, with my love token collection.)

I went to The Southern 500 Nascar race in 1968, the year Wallace ran for President. Wallace was the Grand Marshall for the race and if I am not mistaken they were giving these tokens away as you entered the racetrack. I can't imagine where else I would have gotten this. I found it in an old box of race souvenirs I was going through a while back. I have posted this on here before and several people on the Forum said they own a sample also.

Nice stuff everyone. Picked this up off ebay a couple years ago for less than $20

165CY-46A Thats a R9

Nineteenth century abbreviations sure are funny, sometimes. On that last piece, above, it's odd how they chose to abbreviate "manufacturers" as "MANUF'R" instead of just saying "MAKERS", which would have been the same number of characters and not as wonky-looking. But of course their strange choice of abbreviation makes it all the more quaint to our modern eyes, I suppose.

Edit to add: I just noticed the one-L spelling of "metallic", too. And "Cinti" for Cincinnati. Yep. Quaint, indeed.

Rub it in ....go ahead and rub it in

I remember, years ago, buying a Feuchtwanger out of a dealer's countertop junk box for twenty-five cents.

Diagonal die break across the obverse which is a characteristic of this variety.

I've upgraded all of my Illustrious Predecessor's... Again.

All 3 below are new examples added since Summer 2010 and are the best I could locate as far as strike is concerned.

Very interesting and cool tokens and medals posted here!

Are a few exonumia pieces I haven't posted in a while....

Disgruntled customers at shows beware as ThePennyLady's Pie Cutters could double as Chinese Stars!

Hey, DorkGirl!
Do you have any Utah pieces struck by Charles Arceneaux, formerly of Louisiana, amongst other places?
Here's a couple I have in pewter:

Mormon Collectables Show

National Utah Token Society

Possibly the coolest coin I will ever own.

The third one is double stamped on a Russian 10 Kopek.

A neat iron foundry, a cute toucan, and a magnificent bull!

I obtained this recently , had asked what i might do to remove whatever it is on there but it was one of those threads destined to be zapped so if i was answered i didn't get a chance to see.I think it was a coin dr thread id asked in , not that i consider getting the gunk off doctoring , i think a real beaut is in there somewhere.

No, I bought a So-Called Dollar from him and he threw in his tokens.

That was nice of him. I think he's a pretty fascinating guy. He learned die engraving and striking from H. Alvin Sharpe, who created the first aluminum Mardi Gras doubloons, and has struck pieces at ANA conventions.

Horrible pictures, but I don't want to remove it from the holder....does anyone have a prices realized to see what this sold for?
