retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 04/14/2020 6:12 pm I am wondering if anyone has a collection of tokens and medals issued by the large numismatic publishers; Krause Publications and Coin World. Over the years I have rounded up about 40 medals from KP in silver and bronze plus a large number of tokens and other souvenirs. I am not alone am I? Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12255 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 2:07 pm Here's a Numismatic News promotional set to mark its 30th anniversary in 1982. The set includes a collection of Lincoln Cents 1952 through 1982 along with an aluminum token that was good for a $2.00 discount on a subscription and a copper-nickel proof Collector medal; the token and medal were each struck by The Franklin Mint. (Note: I took the proof medal out of the folder to protect its finish - that's why it is missing from its 'hole' in the second image.) The entire collection (token, medal and 31 Lincoln cents) is housed in a custom-printed blue folder created by Whitman. Very apropos considering how many thousands of Lincoln Cent collections were started in blue Whitman folders! The set is frequently available for a very reasonable on ebay. The proof CuNi medal has the same obverse as the token, but has its own reverse design: Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 12:36 am Nice commems. Specially like how you took the C-N medal out and put it in a plastic capsule. I haven't touched mine and there is no tarnish that can be seen, yet. Edited by retiredkper 04/16/2020 12:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
