nautilator Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 06/14/2024 10:37 am Souvenir token issued for use in Gaylord, Michigan in 1965. It is made of novoply, a type of particleboard, and is quite thick. This is a medal that was awarded to someone for winning a foot race in Tahiti in 2018. It is made with a slice of abalone shell. The colors look much nicer in person than I could get on camera. And yes, it did come on a ribbon. This is a plastic token redeemable for yogurt at Yogurtland. I don't know much about different types of plastics but this one is made with the same type that they make their plastic spoons with and is biodegradable. We've mentioned the Leiden paper coins of 1574 before but these are rarely seen together. The 'common' ones are the 5 stuiver on the left. All other denominations, including the 20 stuiver on the right, are considerably rarer. Note that some coins are counterstamped while others aren't; the 5 stuiver on the top has a counterstamp while the one on the bottom does not. Report this Post to the Staff

casualcoincollector Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 08/27/2024 5:38 pm I haven't added anything to my circulating coins/tokens materials set in a while or posted in a while but I was able to acquire something that I was looking for recently, it is an 1882-1883 silver Chon from Korea with a black enamel seal. I personally like this example in particular since it has a counterstamp/countermark, which tells me that this particular example likely actually circulated as currency around the time of production unlike many other examples of this series since at the time of production in Korea the silver Chon series of coins were the first and only silver coins in production in Korea, so, they ended up being hoarded quite a bit by the upper class at the time of production and thus didn't circulate as much as intended and production was abandoned after only a short production run.

casualcoincollector Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 08/29/2024 8:17 pm Thanks for the comments, everyone. I started building my circulating coins/tokens materials set quite a while ago now and the fact of the matter is that there are only so many metals/materials that were ever used in circulating coins and tokens throughout world history but every once in a while, I still take a look around on the internet to see if I can find any metals/materials that I missed and as luck would have it, I was able to acquire a new one recently. Below is a Lumber token from around 1930 Texas made of stitched, lacquered "Rawhide". Report this Post to the Staff
