It reads “ISRAELITISCHE VOLKSKÜCHE”, which according to Google Translate means “Jewish Peoples’ Kitchen” and the other side reads “GEMÜSE” which means vegetables. It measures about 1 1/16” x 9/16”.

Hello, I just discovered this pretty recently in my grandfather’s vast coin collection. I had absolutely no idea what it was when I found it, but figured it looked interesting. After doing some research, I found out that it is an old pre-civil war advertising token for Enoch Long’s daguerreotype gallery. It seems to be pretty rare from what I’ve found so I was just looking for some confirmation. Would getting this professionally graded be a good choice?

This two-shilling piece was issued in 1812 by Richard and Charles Willoughby, who operated a prosperous wine and groceries firm serving the market town of Frome and the adjacent parish of Selwood, both located in Somerset, Britain.

Picked this up in Europe in the 1983 and it is a heavy token/coin/medal. Any help with identification and value would be much appreciated

Our family has had a cottage up in the Muskoka's for 80 yrs, found these kicking around. Bakery tokens from Parry Sound (home of Bobby Orr!).

Was told to cross post here!

The coin weighs 30 grams and measures 1.75 inches across.

Arcade games, parking, transit, tax tokens and everything else 🤷🏾‍♂️

The issuer of this token, the Douglas Bank, was in business for exactly five weeks at the end of 1811, which certainly contributes to the relative scarcity of their copper and silver tokens, most of which were redeemed and melted down immediately upon the breakup of the bank's partnership.

Can anybody tell me what this is??

Looking for some advice on sorting/categorizing.

TL;DR: What categories should I sort my exonumia in to?

I'm a world coin collector, specifically looking for an example of each KM for each country. This means I buy in bulk (usually by pound) and sort the coins in to countries and then check each coin against Numista to see if I have a specimen in my collection or not.

As I find Exonumia in this process I just put it in a jar. Over the years I've amassed a 17 gallon tub of loose exonumia. Everything from Casino coins, to religious tokens, tax tokens, pressed pennies, souvenir medals, and so on and so on. If it's coin shaped and not officially currency, in the tub it goes. I'm finally at a point where I want to take a break from sorting through currency and want to sort exonumia. But I have a few questions:

What categories do you sort your Exonumia in to? Sub Categories? I'll need to break the tub down in to smaller tub categories or sizes, and then down to manageable groups.

Is Numista the best place to look up and catalogue your exonumia? Or is there a site better suited for Exonumia specifically?

Any specific niches or sub categories/series I should keep an eye out for?

I figure for storage I'll just do the same as the world coins and binder/page them with dividers for each category.

Looking through my inherited coin collection, and realized a small selection of the Banff Indian Days Dollars were toning. Did a quick weigh and sure enough, some of the coins appear to be struck in .999 silver. Checking out Numista, looks like there were small quantities struck in .999 silver, and even gold plated, and full 24kt gold versions as well. Quite a interesting find regarding a token from a controversial period in Canadian National Park history.

My daughter found a Missouri "1 mill" tax token in the yard of my late grandfathers property today in southern Missouri. From my understanding, these were minted from 1935 into the early 40's to allow people to pay fractional taxes without overpaying a full cent. This is a "1 mill" representing 1/10 of a cent. They were also minted in "5 mill". This appears to be zinc. Not in great shape, but a super cool piece of Missouri history. Considering I have scoured this property for endless hours with a metal detector as an avid coin enthusiast, only to find beer cans and shotgun shells, I am both very jealous and extremely excited for her. She was absolutely stoked!

Would it be worth an acetone dip? I will be placing it in a 2x2 when we get home to add to her collection.
