Did you both do the customary Pointer Sisters Neutron Dance after purchasing these

LotsoLuck · January 29, 2011 8:07AM

And the seller told me I was the only one

Yours seems to have more of a glow than mine.

I have a few of those also......I do not believe I have seen one with a 1925 in it....Unique Piece

Me too- I found this hard to pass up in a cheapo pick bin at the Macon, GA show in January '08. Think it cost me a whopping three bucks.

And, just to continue along your fun "wacky" theme, here is an 1895 South African 2-shilling piece upon which somebody decided that Paul Kruger needed a top hat and a meerschaum pipe. (Too bad it wasn't a deerstalker cap- then he'd look like Sherlock Holmes).

LordM, I figured you would have something to offer

Here's my weird, whacky, wonderful, what I call " The seal on the roof variety"....I think it's at least weird.... Jefferson's pony tail looks weird also... I know Keets is gulping right now because he wants this one, BAD!!!

I'll post this one as i've never been able to ID it exactly , i know what the dates mean , i know who she is and it's almost certain it's Warwickshire because the steeple was identified but the building doesn't look like a cathedral to me at all.I know who the initials are below the bust , almost everything except what it is what for and whats the token actually showing , it's not a cathedral although there is a steeple in the background.

This Victorian token shares the 1831 reverse with a trade token for "Dankin & Co" tea merchants, which used the address "Number One, St. Paul's Churchyard."

Frankcoins , you are a star ! Thank you very much for that.It's the missing link.I knew the date on the front denotes the exact day of the Indian uprising ( Middle east Indian ) and that would be something tea importers would take note of i always thought , it was that reverse , a tea shop fits perfectly woo hoooooooooo finally , 3 years i looked for that info , thank you Frankcoins : )

I've got one piece from Tom Maringer's Broadbottom Buttonery, myself. It has the obverse of one of Bill Turner's fantasy coins from Magi Paivaine. In fact I've just ordered a full set of Magi Paivaines from Turner in copper and brass minted by Maringer.

DeLorey-70. Appears to be Aluminum, 200 struck.
The dies for this were in NASCA Wayte Raymond Sale, Part III, in 1978. Does anybody on here have them?
