Art1.2 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 You've got quite a nice collection of these 3" pieces. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 This next group are the last batch of the bulk penny swap. In the total off everything that was in the swap. I am a very happy swapper! But some of what ends up in an exonumia collectors boxes is differently interesting.Buttons probably from metal detecting. The next two is older from the design and loop back.A very well worn token even under magnification, nothing could be made out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Nice finds. There are a lot of folks who collect buttons. I would think these old items would be prized finds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Yes I'm aware of the button collectors but only of the old hand made types and carved ones out of ivory,bone, whale teeth, jet, and other mineral organic items. but that is a job for winter. right now I still am under a list of things that need doing outside before the snow hits!

Art1.2 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 More nice items. I've seen the Netherlands pieces used in bracelets before. I'm thinking that it's a pretty common thing. Nice design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Looks to be the start of rolling a coin for a ring, they couldn't have picked a harder material coin to work on!Nice small charm in sterling, river boats being a minor interest of mine so it was another bonus find in the swap.

Circus Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Yep don't sneeze if you are looking at tghem on a table and they aren't in holders, or if you have kitties.

Circus Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 An Adams magic coin which was used in the multiplying coin tricks, they were cheaper for the magi to have a lot of them on hand than actual coins. plus they were less appealing to theft. They ca=me in .40 and dollar coin sizes.A lucky penny key ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
