Nice.

Interesting . Adding CA casinos to the collection.

Very interesting piece and wonderful research. Thank you for sharing this with us. I really like this piece and the possible meaning of the labyrinth as following the path to "heaven" is quite interesting. Appears that jeton contains the "tree of life" in the center. Great item for anyone's collection.

I wouldn't have any idea as I don't follow these coins at all, but your work is admirable. The counterfeit markets are ever expanding and provide an interesting "detective" area for hobbiests. Unfortunately they can also provide a big trap for unwary purchasers. Keep having fun and keeping us in the loop on these things.

I can understand your love for the overstrikes. I find the idea of overstriking really interesting to start with so having the actual coins -- WOW!

Neat token and interesting info. I wish them lots of luck with their place. It seems like something much needed in many areas.

When? Where? Why?

Me too.

Well worn piece

WOW! 100 oz bars don't seem to sell very well in this area. They're just too expensive for folks wanting to put aside a little silver for inflation concerns.

Nice nickels. Had a lumber yard burn near my home when I was a kid. WOW! What a blaze. It was a real loss to us kids as they were always giving us wood to build scooters and wagons and such. Very nice folks there. They never re-opened the yard. Missed them.

Perhaps I could be of assistance as well :-)

Will these be available in Canada or are you headed to the "Old Country"?

Very nice. Silver content?

Nice finds.

That is interesting and a cleaver idea.

I've heard of it and read about them but don't recall seeing one in real life,

Nice coin. Enjoy it!

Neat!

Congrats on your great find. Enjoy it.

Ah the Stardust.

Nice chip.

In 1999 the thickness and weight of planchets was reduced by 1%. I believe this was done to avoid removing old worn coins from circulation; if the new coins were lighter the worn old clads wouldn't show up.

 

Perhaps the mint forgot they had done this and when the states program was over went back to the old thickness and it won't work.

 

It should be easy enough to check. Just get BU rolls of states coins and compare them to a BU roll of parks coins.

Very interesting. I was not aware of this.

I guess all of the MPC types are using some specialized sites. I'm probably better defined as a generalist or one who can't make up his mind. ?

Very nice. I was tempted once to order one of these.
