So yesterday I hit the semi-regular coin show at Devens MA. I didn't expect to get anything due to the cost of silver being up, but it was a crummy, rainy day so I drove out there and looked around.

I finished up a quick chat with a dealer who wanted to know what I was looking for, and was just about to leave when I noticed the vendor next to him had a small amount of bins LOADED with PAPER EPHEMERA.

Wellp, I suddenly felt very comfortable as coins are NEW to me! I have been collecting various paper for MANY years. And $40 got me a whole stack of stuff!

I therefore apologize to the coin folks for my digression.

Oh, I didn't think folks here would be interested! I'll try to remember to add some scans later today!

Sure. We've got a whole subforum for paper semi-numismatic-related ephemera, here: http://goccf.com/f/165

It's not very busy lately, but feel free to make it busier!

If the bits of paper are more token-like than stock/bond-like, feel free to post them in the Exonumia subforum instead: http://goccf.com/f/11

Let's see what you got!

An interesting variety of stuff! That TV broadcast receiving license made me smile; I remember having to get an annual license when living in the UK about 20 years ago.
