I guess these two can be classified as Love Tokens
The first is hosted by a 1887 Morgan with nice patina. It was a present from the children to their parents on their 25th wedding anniversary
The second is hosted by a 1871 Liberty Seated Dollar. It is a birth announcement Sept 12 1869

I like the way they machined out the center but left
the denticles on this one. Very well done.

Here's a coin board from 1934/35 manufactured by a paper company named Post . Whitman would later buy the rights to the Post coin boards and the rest is history.
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
<< <i>The child was born in 1869 and the coin is an 1871 >>
I have owned this coin for years and never noticed something so seemingly obvious
You don't see too many of these on seated dollars,mostly trade dollars.

<< <i>the Clarke catalog, is there any indication as to when it was issued or printed? >>
The first page makes mention of the "NEW" $10 and $20 gold pieces - so I would say 1907 or soon thereafter
Here is one of my more recent purchases. Anybody else seen one?
It was available at the dedication of the Stone Mountain Memorial in 1970.

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

Second, since we have a medal with medals on it, this is a medal with a coin on it. And I think it may be an accented hair. This was the medal given to Harry X Boosel (Mr 1873) for his service on the Assay Commission of this year.

Is the first picture the reverse of the second picture?
If so, have you figured out the symbology yet?

I just deleted the pix I had of that huge piece of Swedish plate money. Oh, well. Maybe TUMUSS can post it. I think he was the one who bought it from me.
I need to scan the hobo nickel Billzach made for me one of these days.
