Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 5:59 pm According to his Coinworld obituary, he moved from Ohio to Palm Harbor in 1995 or thereabouts; I'd guess they would date from around that time, to advertise his new address.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5238 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 6:38 pm I think that I picked one up at a FUN show in 2008 or so. There was probably a bowl of them. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 6:39 pm @win, here is a link to the tokencatalog entry for this piece. Interestingly, they note that it is believed to have been minted by The Patrick Mint. https://www.tokencatalog.com/token_...ord_offset=0 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12254 Posts	Posted 10/25/2023 6:50 pm I got mine from Mr. Cline sometime circa 2005. He gave it to me at the big show in Baltimore when I stopped at his table. I've heard the Patrick Mint connection story as well, but never looked into it. I would guesstimate that 500 to 1,000 were produced - but that's just a guess. Here's a link to mine: - JH Cline Advertising Medal Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 10/26/2023 7:48 pm On the bay now: J. H. Cline elongated SLQ. He was certainly deft at advertising! Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
