My name is John and I've been selling on ebay for nearly 30 years as well as owning a brick and mortar store in Pa.. I recently obtained a bucket full of die maker tools that belonged toa retired Robbins die maker.
After removing most of the tools, I began finding medals and such. The bottom of the bucket was full of all the test strikes this man did over the years. Everything from jewelry insets to commemorative coins.
I will be listing these on ebay, but I wondered what kind of market there is for these. Some are one of a kind, some limited editions and some were never put into production. All are various materials, mostly brass and copper.

to the CCF, junkforjoysc!
There would be a strong market for such items. Are they uniface?
Unfortunately you haven't been a member long enough to sell things here yet.

Some are uniface and I will be showing that when listing on ebay. The variety is great, including fobs, jewelry insets and historic events. One piece looks to be suspiciously gold, but most are bronze, copper, and brass with some pewter and silver colored material.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm 80 years old and was always a gear head, racing drag cars and dirt modifieds. I sold our antiques business 14 years ago and retired to SC. I like dabbling in ebay and have kept that activity going for a little extra income.
