bagerap Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The William Shatner is quite rare in that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The William Shatner is quite rare in that colour. He is rare in any color! he was a real hoot on a show called the captains on netflix, and a couple of other shows about trekies on it, and his appearance on the pickers show. I will take any color!

funbelow Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Interesting article here on H. Alvin Sharpe, who is said to have incented the doubloon as a lightweight "throw" for the crewes. His monogram HAS appears on many of his items, and I noticed it on a few of yours. You did good. http://voices.yahoo.com/a-glimpse-life-h-alvin-sharpe-5406769.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 I recently came into a deal on an older album of a Mardi Gras doubloon collection, in addition to about 100 loose ones.The first batch some are from an interesting assortment of groups some from parades other than Mardi Gras, Like St. Patties day, navy, other civic groups, business I don't know if they allow any parade floats other than the Krewes and groups in. Off course since there will be more than one person standing on the side of the route the politicians have gotten in the act with doubloons.reverses the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Posted July 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I wonder what the rocket on the coin signifies Sometimes the designs signify nothing more than Then the theme for the float or parade. They can also have some tie in to the space industry, as it is near Gulfport/Bouluxi Miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yep I thought I would start with the org's other then the Krewes that are normally found on the throws from the floats. They will go nicely with my masonic pennies and a masonic art bar I picked up this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
