I liked this one for a few reasons. The image of the Prima Princess is very cool. I like beer tokens in general. And it is neat to see a three digit phone number on the reverse.
If I get tired of it, I will look for a watering hole that has Prima on tap

When I'm not hunting Buffs, or working on my 7070, I like to put together random type sets. Top one is contemporary counterfeits. Maybe I'll do cuds next.
Proud recipient of the coveted "You Suck Award" (9/3/10).
Very nice!
Your coin makes a 1955 1c look like a minor variety!
The only US coin that has a stronger spread than the one from Brazil is the 1872 dime, which has a nearly 180 degree rotation. Only a few details from the first hubbing can be seen, however. Brazil, Mexico, and several Central American countries all have outstanding doubled dies.
Got back into collecting after an 8 year hiatus. I usually spend less than $30 on coins. Most were Peace VAMs and the rest PCGS Ikes. You certainly don't have to spend a lot to buy quality and enjoy the hobby.
I've been wondering what entire collections are mostly under $100 a piece, say 90%.
Here's my 1901 Pan American Exposition "I was at Buffalo" token, or potentially So-Called Half Dollar. I've been putting together a Pan Am Exposition collection where most of the items are sub $100.

Very cool piece.
There are still great values to be had for less than $100.
You just have to do a little legwork, and study, and decide what interests you.
Be a contrarian.
It's a lot more fun.
Very nice!

Sweet variety - does the guy you bought that from have any more at that price?

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I have been cherrypicking a bunch of Colombian doubled dies and repunched dates, and I look for varieties in other SA countries like Chile, Venezuela, and Brazil. I know they are somewhat taboo but you can also find marvelous doubled dies on German coins from the 1920s and 1930s.

Here is the most James A. Garfield 1880 presidential campaign medalet. Even in Gem Unc. condition, it can sell for less than $50 if you locate one from the right source. Garfield was born into a poor family and worked his way up. This one variety JAG 1880-9
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
