    Thanks guys. Yeah the website name is paid for thru 2020 so I guess I'll keep it :P

    Much of the depression is in the past thank goodness and I'm on the recovery side and thanks for the encouragement.

    My plan is to cache some of the money from the sale and buy coins and medals I've never owned. Once they're on the website I'll probably sell them again, hopefully for what I paid for them or more. So, a "virtual" collection will be easier on my eyes and pocketbook!

    Anybody who knows anything about elverno. I miss him and his website http://www.napoleonicmedals.org

  2. I have a question about tokens with Blanchisseuse or  Vivandier on them. Blanchisseuse and  Vivandier were part of the civil people that followed an army. Blanchisseuse is a laundry woman who can wash the soldiers clothes.  Vivandier sold food and drink to the soldiers. Below you can see a token from the fresh army in Hannover about 1804-05.

    My question si how was this token used. Was it for a prepaid service, a token confirming you were an "official" Blanchisseuse or something entire different?
