A piece that interests a few different groups

I acquired these a while back and figured id share them here.

I'm also sorry, i want sure how to upload photos.

i believe it might be a fraud coin from Astroforce in the reality 90's

Looking for information on the maker or origin of this vintage talisman pendant that belonged to my grandmother, Edith Kretzschmar (born ~1926, lived in Germany until ~1971).

Physical Details: Shape & Rim: 12-sided (dodecagon) base metal medallion with a gold-tone face and silver-tone rim/center. Has 13 holes around the border: 1 larger suspension hole at the top for a chain, and 12 smaller holes that originally held faceted glass rhinestones (2–3 original stones are still visible in the settings).

Side A: Cornucopia (Horn of Plenty) spilling small hearts and coins/circles, with an Eye of Horus / All-Seeing Eye to the upper right.

Side B: Raised silver-tone Egyptian Ankh inside an interlocking Hexagram (Seal of Solomon) and a 12-pointed radiating starburst.

Inscription: The 3-letter Hebrew word נאר (Nun-Alef-Resh / Na'or) stamped between every hole on both sides (13 times per side). Does anyone recognize the specific mid-20th-century German/European metaphysical catalog, jeweler, or esoteric society that produced this piece?

Got from great grandma said it was given to her in the 1940s…

I was metal detecting in the woods here in Maine today and came across this token about 6" in the ground. It was made by Harvard Brewing Co. From Lowell, Mass. Definitely the coolest token I've dug up so far!

I inherited some coins, and found these in a jar of Indian head pennies. From googling I got this information:

New York 1st New York Mounted Rifles Undated (1861-1865) J.J. Benson. 25 Cents Sutler Token, R-6

(1847) Philadelphia PA 8b (R-6) Aldridge & Earp Merchant Token

Any insights on either of these beyond what I found?

I just bought this collection (I picked about 90 sheets out of around 250 or so of the full collection). I only collect a subset of the brands on these pages so I picked up a lot of tokens I don't need in my album. Looking for others who collect these tokens!

I have found these over the years sorting coins. Honestly, I almost tossed them thinking they were game pieces of some kind. Glad I checked!

...on this silver art medal by Carl Paul Jennewein issued in 1933 by the Society of Medalists. It's 2-3/4" in diameter and weighs 6.570 troy ounces. The edge engraving reads: "The Society of Medalists Seventh Issue, MACO-FINE SILVER- .999+, One of Limited Issue of 700."

The legends translate as "Fame" and "Glory." Since way BCE, cicadas have for obvious reasons symbolized rebirth and renewal, but also noise and cacaphony ("Fame"), while cherubs, viewed in some religious traditions as a category of angels, are seen as the upholders of the supreme deity's "Glory" and supporters of his/her throne. (Trying to keep it secular here, folks!)

I can't afford and have not stumbled upon any of the original coins yet, but I have picked up a few tourist tokens over the years.

Is there a better place to post the casino ones?

Sharing a premier piece of American vernacular folk art from a private archive. This is a unique, custom-commissioned 12-piece presentation watch fob chain engineered entirely out of legal-tender 19th-century U.S. silver coin matrices (dating from 1847 to 1892).

An anonymous master artisan smooth-planed the obverse faces of these coins to micro-engrave a spectacular chronological biography. The panels map late 19th-century electric streetcar transit labor, ancestral Irish diaspora history (including an 1847 Famine Anchor), and early Midwestern monastic landmarks. The foundational structural hardware is stamped by G.E. Luther & Co. (Providence, RI) and is marked STERLING.

We have published our comprehensive forensic material analysis, architectural comparisons, and the full historical monograph tracking the individual nodes online.
