StamperDude New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/04/2010 1:25 pm I have just picked up my 3rd coin commemorating a 150th anniversary. So far I have 2 for Broadwell IL, 1 for Sherman IL, and 1 for Cuba MO. All of these towns share a connection by being found along historic US Highway 66 aka Route 66. I am in search of finding other coins, tokens, and exonumia from other 66 communties. The Mother Road went from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA and went through 8 states: IL, MO, KS, OK, TX, NM, AZ, CA. I know that there is a coin for Litchfield IL, but I haven't been able to find one yet. Some of you may know me from the stamp forum. I specialize in Route 66 postmarks and postcards. I also dabble in coins and currency from time to time. Report this Post to the Staff

StamperDude New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 2:29 pm Nic, I'll try to scan them in over the weekend and post them. The 2 from Broadwell survived a fire and may have some heat toning on them. Report this Post to the Staff
