Here's some pocket change!

WaterSport · June 26, 2020 4:39PM

So a friend of mine collects these because - his family is related to Beirn. I found this one doing a quick search which was better than a handful they had so they bought it and we decided to send it in for grading.

Some nice looking tokens!🙂

Nice thread!!

@bolivarshagnasty
I really ... really like that 1909 S VDB!!

U1chicago · June 26, 2020 7:13PM

It's a details grade but a good example to learn what a whizzed coin/token looks like.

Sonorandesertrat · June 26, 2020 8:29PM

Conder token, DH-7 WIltshire. 1790's. NGC 65BN. Alms for the poor theme:

PCGS graded is G6. I think it’s about 55 points under-graded....

WildIdea · June 26, 2020 9:30PM

Came home with this last March just before Covid 19 hit.
My buddy gave it to me cause he knew I like thus stuff and I hadn’t been in the shop for ages. Just now looking at it closely.

That looks like a "die adjustment" strike and not much actual wear.

It's also been recolored after it was whizzed but looks like it was UNC with surface issues before the enhancements.

Might have been dipped and someone tried to make it passable again.

Nice piece of history. Here's my medal related to the Indian Wars. It's for General Gibbon's essay on the situation with the Indians.

Here's another war-related medal, this one from a Peace Jubilee for the Spanish American War.

Interesting to think this was happening at the same time as Bryan money and less than 2 decades from WWI.

@ricko -- What is the edge lettering & # on your Indian Wars medal?

keets · June 27, 2020 10:41AM

That's just a awesome piece!

thanks, Martin. it was one of those things that shows up simply because I started looking for them, very strange indeed. to be honest, I think it was on eBay but I don't really remember.

all I know for sure is that Zoins has called "dibs" on it.

ricko · June 27, 2020 11:00AM

@tokenpro.... There is no edge lettering on this medal....Cheers, RickO

CWT1863 · June 27, 2020 2:53PM

One of my favorites!

This is a somewhat recent pick-up, and it demonstrates the skill of art and technology used to bring out all of the details:

You can see the date on the reverse - 1619!

coinsarefun · June 27, 2020 8:00PM

Another very early seen coin, some say a pattern coin.
CANADA Quebec 1870 Anticosti Island 1/8 Penny Quebec
The dies were prepared at the Paris Mint possibly for Honduras. The attribution for Anticosti Island was first published by Scott Stamp and Coin Co. in their Catalogue of Canadian Coins, Medals and Tokens in 1890.

It's a beautiful piece and I'm glad it's in your collection Al!

I was lucky enough to pick up a 1998 silver because I just happened to be looking for these and one was available. There's a lot of serendipity with some of these pieces.

Well, if for some reason Zoins no longer wants it, let me be his substitute!

It's past the weekend but I wanted to share this recently acquired Karl Goetz medal, K-131.

SimpleCollector · July 1, 2020 12:35PM

Appropriate thread for me this week as a new token appeared today.
