I managed to pick up 2 error and one better grade Queen Victoria "Old Head" Gaming token.
These are the only examples I have been able to find that is better condition. And......I have two errors!

Looks like this one in brass is a little more rarer as the rest on the page notes copper.

thanks, @WAYNEAS - I still haven't put together a more 'legit' coin photo setup, so I usually end up w these moody, directional shots just to try and show relief of the details

thank you, @Kudbegud - really appreciate that - it's tough on these forums, with so many members who take what I feel are massively superior shots of their coins, but I'm working my way towards that --- someday 🙃
I’m happy to say I purchased this beautiful half eagle from my friend and coin brother, Jeremy, AKA @clarkbar04 .
I think it’s beautiful and fits nicely into my half eagle collection.
The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

always inspired by the great coin photographers on these forums, but my ambition hasn't yet translated into hitting the bars some of yall raise - that said, I broke out the dslr for these to give a go at a more computational approach to lighting; used a single led pen light, took photos w light in multiple different locations relative to static coin-camera setup, and combined exposures to achieve the below — still a long way to go, but happier w these as opposed to smartphone ambient lighting shots — and no, I'll never remove the coins from their capsules to photograph them, so dust-be-dąmиəd 😄

I have never had a 1950-D Jefferson before.
The 50 D was the last hole in my book 1 Jefferson nickel collection in the 1960's, they were not found in the wild. An unc. Specimen was $35 in todays money close to 10 times that amount based on inflation. I finally got my 50 D and about 20 some years ago purchased a roll of them some were graded...some given away to YN's as a memory of a young collector who drove him self crazy trying to search rolls to find one.

I only collect these in MS but I enjoy the color on this AU58. Its got some dings but should be attractive in person. I will find out soon. Maybe I will hate it in hand. Who knows..
Picked this up. Love token on a five dollar gold piece. If anyone could help me with the initials it would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently thinking its JGF?

Thanks. These are interesting. I've seen that most are made using coins from the 1840-1870's so it's also interesting that this one has a host coin date in the 1900's.

Sorry. Not coin related, but a NEWP regardless. I figured with 3 closed threads on the main page and a few at least questionable Alts showing up recently it would slip by.

Drove to Denver from Tucson for our Grandson’s wedding and decided to pick up one of Dan Carr’s latest! Glad i did!
If you decide to get or order one, make sure to ask for a low number, because quantities are limited....
Super cool. I like it a lot!

Hey, mine isn't a new car but I needed it just the same for my type set! It's got some pretty heavy die polish lines that are kinda interesting.
That doesn't look round at all!
Congrats!
