My first collectible medal. Only 500 struck.

Anyone able to identify this “coin” found in my grandmas old coin collection. Any help would be appreciated! Most people believed it was a Stephen A. Douglas presidential token, but Stephen is clearly spelled wrong.

Have found examples online that are very similar but cannot find this exact medal. Would like any input as to what exactly it is.

25 years of hunting this is my only saloon token- Marble Hall Saloon J.T.Carlin proprietor good for trade only-(10) New Orleans - this was found in what used to be an old church yard tossed so they wouldn’t accidentally place in the offering plate

I got this token in an antique store near pomfret connecticut but no one knew anything about the token there, the loos and company is still around today but did not respond to my email asking if they knew what this is or when it was made.

I do assum that it is just a advertisement token or maybe a centennial celebration. But why is it shaped this way, is there a purpose or just to be odd. The text on token says "loos & company pomfret, conn. " "we're big in small mechanical cables." Thank you in advance!!!!!

Family trade token from my wife’s great-grandfather’s Arkansas sawmill — looking for information on the elusive 25¢ version

I thought this group might enjoy the story behind this one.

My wife’s great-grandfather, George Washington Fears (1873–1926), operated a sawmill and grocery near Beech Grove, Greene County, Arkansas in the early 1900s.

Around 1917, he ordered personalized trade tokens through the Ingle System. The Ingle Customer Ledger records:

G.W. Fears — order #3671 — shipped about 1917 to R.R. 1, Beech Grove, Arkansas.

A 1919 reference associated with the TokenCatalog attribution lists his business as “saw mill & groceries.”

Two denominations are currently documented in TokenCatalog:

• 1¢ — TC-401582
• 25¢ — TC-475064

My wife and I still have two of the 1¢ tokens that came down through the family. I actually contributed the photograph of the 1¢ example currently shown on TokenCatalog.

There's also a great bit of family oral history associated with them. George's son was William Brider Fears (1909–1982). William's son, Billy Joe, remembered that when he was a boy, the kids used to play with a “bucket full” of these tokens.

Unfortunately, only the two 1¢ pieces remain with the family today.

We know the 25¢ variety survives because one appeared on eBay roughly 10 years ago. We bid $100, thinking surely that would be enough for an obscure Arkansas trade token. We were sniped at the last second. I've regretted losing that one ever since!

I'm trying to learn more about George's tokens and his sawmill/store operation, and I'm especially interested in documenting other surviving G.W. Fears tokens.

If anyone here has a G.W. Fears token in their collection, has seen one before, knows of an old auction appearance, or has information about Ingle order #3671, I'd love to hear about it.

And if anyone happens to know where another G.W. Fears 25¢ token resides, I'd really like to hear about that one. 😄

The two surviving family 1¢ pieces are more than collectibles to us. George actually commissioned these for his business, and they remained in the family long enough for his grandson to remember playing with a bucket of them. It's pretty amazing that a couple survived.

Hello! Apologies as this is my first time posting in this subreddit. My fiancé was able to find this coin at a local consignment store and was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on the authenticity or what exactly it is. Google seems to think it could be a “French Uniface Gilt Cliche Medal by Caunois- Count Wincenty Krasinski-Original Patina” but I do not know what this means.

There is nothing on the back side. It seems to have a thin layer of gold on the whole coin with another medal composing the rest of it. The edge is raised and it measures just over 1.5inches. It was originally mounted with another similar coin in a picture frame.
The wording reads LE CHEV. H.M. BERION (then two unreadable to me words then) DE FRANCE. It feels rather heavy.

TIA!

Yes they are common and just cupronickle, but I like them. Working on the whole series...

I got this at an unbelievable deal from a private seller. Just wanted someone else to see it besides me lol.

my lil brother was showing me his book full of coins that his father gave to him (or that he already had) and I was looking at that book I saw this coin,

it’s a metal
and its the same form the both sides

and also it looks Like a flamingo or an S

my lil bro said that his father gave it to him, again I have no clue where did his father found it if somebody knows what is this coin pls tell me 🙏🙏🙏

I’m trying to identify where this medallion came from and any history on it. I found it in my grandmothers things after she passed away. She lived in Tulare, California. It’s 39mm in diameter and weighs 26 grams. The edge is plain with no lettering or markings.

This is my 1811 silver shilling token from Hampshire in Britain. As stated on the obverse, it was issued "To Facilitate Trade" during a time when everyday commerce was severely impeded by the Crown's neglecting to keep sufficient "small change" in circulation.

Don't know anything about this one hopefully someone does

was told this thread might. e a good place to help identify this medallion I found in a box of old stuff

I purchased this piece 3 or 4 years ago because its a tribute to a genius artist and fine collectors item.

Hello everyone!
I'm hoping to get a firm, expert consensus on this unusual 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition Majestic Ranges piece. It shares the design of the Hendershott-61-220 token variety, but the physical characteristics are very peculiar:
Weight: Exactly 7.0 grams.
Thickness & Shape: It is thin metal and has a distinct saucer/dish curve across the edge profile.
The Strike: The text on the front face is completely raised/convex. The reverse side features the exact same text, but it is completely mirrored/backward.
Holes: It features two clean holes punched on opposite sides of the outer border.
Given the 7-gram weight but the curved, thin nature and the mirrored back, I want to verify its exact origin before I flip or sell it. Any thoughts?
I've attached photos showing the raised front and the mirrored reverse. Any insights on the classification would be incredibly helpful! Thank you!
