  1. One of the swastika good luck tokens and one with I believe is called a die crack!
  2. I had no idea there were something other than tokens when I bought them. In elementary school the Nun would assign me to do reports on the people of color, she said at a parent teachers conference that it was because my parents didn't object to me doing them. I always thought that GW Carver was was an interesting farm type researcher. And Booker T was an interesting person.
  3. I haven't kept track of them but off the top of my head better than 15 and 4 countries. With the tax tokens, transit tokens more than 23. I was planing on labeling the pages by stat when I put the safeties in the archive 2x2 pages. For the older crowd, do you you remember the show? same both sides another older one when the burger king wasn't a creepy plastic guy in their commercials.
  4. Thanks, but I don't think so they will still be considered interesting pieces.
  5. Have to make a correction on the last post, it has been brought to my attention that the above two items. "These are commemorative half dollars, coins, legal tender, produced by the U.S. Mint. These coins are listed in the Red Book and other coin price guides." "Not only that but the Columbian you have is the very first date coin in the Classic Silver Commemorative series and the Washington-Carver is one of the very last of the 50 types produced." Not being a coin collector I had no idea that they were anything other than tokens let alone silver legal tender commemorative's. learn something new almost every day on these forums.
  6. Thanks, I thought that's what it was just had no idea what the letters meant
  7. Does anybody no what the cursive lettering means? apothecaries weight,equivalent to 60 grains or one eighth of an ounce. it is to bad that somebody made a mess of the one side, but for the cost on it can see if I can remove most of the scratches. One of the state series that was sold years ago.
  8. It seems somebody beat me too it this week. They bought the entire bin guess he is humping them of flea bay as there wasn't really anything of either value or interest to the coin type buyers. But I did score to great ones Do these bring back memories, At one of the local small amusement parks in the metro area, they had a shooting gallery with cork long guns and the targets were packages of cigarettes. One trip I had won two cartons total when they ran out of the brand my father smoked. They had to let me finish the the number of shots that we paid for. They gave out tokens of a similar type to collect on another day.
  9. Women's Metro golf Assoc ball marker Plus the usual assortment of presidential game coins! That's it for this edition.
  10. It is Currency monkey as the google translate , reverse is "the ice". a proper name from Paris so yes it does have some of the same design devices According to flea bay it is Paris, Aux Glaces, 25 R. Ste. Apolline // Monnaie De Singe (Angel, Rooster, Fasces). Brothel token, gilt brass shellcard, 21mm, Elie-30, Type 1 1890/1900 It also comes up on an old thread on here naked women on coins. 2009 http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php/topic/25732-nudity-on-coins-nsfw-unless-its-the-1920s/?do=findComment&comment=469785

  12. Brass tool check, Rome brass,copper works, Rome New York copy of Hawaii penny
  13. One of the help said coins from one of the smaller African countries that have regime and name changes often they when in hard plastic rounds that were curd y and scratched up with Dynmo tape labels. I had only moved them out of the pile without looking at them for months!.
  14. Here are 3 that you never know what you find. I was told that these 3 following were from a country in Africa. Since I have even less interest in collecting foreign coins, then I do US coins. I never bothered to pick one up and look at one. At the end of the time sorting in the bin I picked one up and looked at one and read the inscription. It said Mardi Gras so I fished the other two out and added them to the pile. Nice heavy bronze alloy, in bright and antique patina from the 60's The help asked if I was branching out into world coins?
