I need to pull them all up in a pile and light them up. Start over again. All I can afford to buy back is junk tho. I'd be working on it too if I did. I guess at least I got alot of new parts in these I own now. I guess that's the bright side of it. Lem E and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked this one up because of the strike and the surface quality. It’s raw but it doesn’t matter. I see it as a 65+. It’s struck from the hammer from hell. Needle sharp details on this one and very close to blemish free. Thanks for looking and happy hunting. Another awesome Buffalo Joe.

Henri Charriere Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 @JIM F. Exceptionally! Top shelf! Monumental shift from your Half-Cents. Perfect for high-end collection. Sure to sit at the pinnacle of your Registry Set or similar compilation. Strong strike, sharp devices, smooth fields with no hint of bag marks let alone a wayward chopmark. A Centennial sensation! Whether Proof or Proof-like, ultra-rare/extreme rarities like this are seldom seen. I cannot decide between a 68 or 69. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Woods020 Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 For a little variety in this section here is something a little different from the U.S. I have recently started a collection of coins, medals, tokens and other exonumia related to the state of Alabama. In a stacks auction this week several nice tokens came across the block from the Mobile Jockey Club (Mobile Alabama). Little is known about the club, and the earliest mention that I can find is in a Mobile newspaper in October 1842 (article attached). The medals and tokens associated with this club were created and procured by noted numismatist Joseph Napoleon Tricot (JNT) Levick. Levick had many accomplishments such as founding member of both Philadelphia and New York numismatic societies, ANA hall of fame member, and launched the first numismatic periodical (American Journal of Numismatics) in which he also included the first photographic plate of coins. There are more than 40 known mules and varieties of these tokens and I keep a vigil eye out as I see them come to the market. If you happen to run across any let me know. I would love to see if it’s one I have or one I need. Mr_Spud, Numismatic, A.A.S., Hoghead515 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Those are some very cool additions to your Alabama theme set @Woods020 I can see some copper pieces, are the others all silver or some other metals? Hoghead515 and Woods020 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you sir. These things are all over the place on metal. The silver colored ones pictured are “white metal” ALA- 6 is copper-nickel ALA-2 is brass ALA-3 is copper They did make a few in silver, and they are by far the hardest to find I have quickly learned. Leave it to me to stumble on a token with 40 variants to find. Hoghead515 and Coinbuf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I was thinking that at lest one might be a white metal type but not at all familiar with these so than you for the additional info. And heck if it was easy anyone could find them, right. Woods020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
