How can you shoot them out of a gun or rifle?

J/k are any real GoLD?

cars · January 5, 2009 12:09AM

Very nice, partial to the ones with guy panning. What would one of those be worth?

Sunshine Rare Coins · January 5, 2009 4:25AM

That is good information to know. Some of these can be difficult to identify!

Your NGC registry set is awesome and has been a wealth of information!

I just love visiting this thread and applaud him for his collection.
I miss @SCDHunter. Has anyone seen or heard from him.

AUandAG · September 23, 2018 2:07PM

Wow, such passion and it shows very well.

Zoins · September 23, 2018 2:11PM

I'm a big fan of @SCDHunter. He has great posts and a great collection. He hasn't been on since April 24, 2018. I hope he's okay.

privatecoin · September 23, 2018 2:12PM

Awesome collection you have! Thanks for sharing.

Timbuk3 · September 23, 2018 3:50PM

Sweet, thanks for sharing !!!

Not mind, but I just ran across this nice photo of a Earl Parker octagonal and wanted to post it for posterity.

Hope you see this and come back and post @SCDHunter!

@zoins, that one is very neat looking. It almost looks bronze but must be toned brass?

I miss SCD Hunter. He had a great collection. I have two of the Parker slugs.
One graded in bras MS67 and another I happened upon raw on eBay 10-12 months ago.
I think the raw one is gilt.

.

.
If I’m not mistaken @zoidmiester ran upon a set in a capital plastic holder.
Maybe he’ll drop by and refresh my memory……..I might be totally wrong…..lol

thebeav · July 18, 2022 5:00AM

Those are really nice !

JP_Coins · August 8, 2022 12:18AM

Hey, all! This may be a “noobie” question, but I’ve seen the pedigree “SLUGS - JANKOVSKY” under numerous NGC medals. Can anyone provide some background on these medals? I’ve tried to gather what I can from the above posts, but wasn’t really able to identify any historical background.

If anyone would like to share, I’d surely appreciate it!

jesbroken · August 8, 2022 3:40AM

I only have this one.

Basically, he wrote a few articles and assigned them numbers.
.
If you pm me and give me your email I can send the article I have on him.
Below are a few pages. I think it can be found online as well but, not sure.

NumisOxide · August 8, 2022 8:02AM

Those are some nice slugs! Have a small collection of them.

oih82w8 · August 8, 2022 8:37AM

Nice agglomeration of slugs! Really surprising that photobucket images still show.

jesbroken · August 11, 2022 7:39PM

@AOEDAD
I see you list #11 as J640/HK502A
I have the J640 Blunt 4 but my HiblerKappen book(2nd Edition) does not list it as an HK502(A) at all. A completely different item is listed as an HK502. Am I looking somewhere wrong or where do I find a listing for the HK502A?
Thank you,
Jim

ZoidMeister · October 21, 2022 2:31PM

I've been fortunate to have found a few Humbert $50 Octagon Facsimiles lately. The most recent to arrive is this #J120 Days of '49 Kneeling Miner reverse (coin turn).

My wife thinks all coin collectors are "certifiable", especially me, but not by NGC..

These slugs are really neat. How long did it take to accumulate these. I have never seen the Montana ones before.

I've been looking for a couple years. Others have been at it a lifetime I'm sure. Most of mine are "details" in some way or another. High grade examples are very elusive.

Another I picked up recently. Blunt "4" example.

Your post may have stimulated additional interest in this area. It did for me. I have recently been picking up some medals so-called dollars, and other items, with a theme entered around the Louisiana Purchase Expositions from St. Louis in 1904 and Portland in 1905. I may have to keep my eye open for some of these slugs.
