yarm, you need to open a museum!  I'm glad this thread continues. My purchases have been sparse. Coin Club tonight, maybe I'll find something new?

Here is a So-Called Dollar that came in the deal with the Stone Mountain Founders medal. This is the HK-415a: Tower of Jewels / Standing Minerva with rays. It is a SCD from the PanPac expo. Not the best example, but since it was part of the deal for the medal, it's gravy.  Edit: this is actually 415a - wanted to clarify.

Bump - medals and tokens that have seen some pocket wear have a charm and character all their own.

 Sort of like me - I have lots of wear and charm.

I was alive when he was Pope. I think I'm officially old now. Another nice one yarm! Bump111, now I know where the expression "Good Gravy" comes from. 999 "pocket wear have a charm and character all their own" Totally agree! Quote:Me: Quote: Quote: My purchases have been sparse.

No medals or coins but Yeah, I got a 1912 Harvard Yale Championship Football Ticket I did win this unused ticket to the 1912 Championship Football Game between Harvard & Yale. This thing is actually heavy, very thick stock. It looks like New England Bank Note Co. printed this but it is hard to read. About the size of a dollar bill.

TNG - as some of us know that "our whole attitude and outlook on life will change," I pass on to you that this has indeed happened to me. I am no longer old, I am a "man-tique" :)
I did some web-searching re your Harvard-Yale ticket. It seems this is a popular subject and not one for the faint of heart or pocket!
I found "Engraved and Printed by John A Lowell Bank Note Co Boston."
Chopped Triumphs - I know nothing about the subject you posted but I found it interesting to look at. (Does your handle here have anything to do with customized British motorcycles? :)

Tokens? I've got a good number of them  . This up I just got today; paid 0.30 cents for it in with all kinds of foreign coins. A scarce to rare (1898) 'Remember the Maine', 'Cuba must be free' and I am a tad surprised at what it retails for  .
