It has been a while since my last post, I have been working hard to score some new permissions. The following is the result of four hunts, at two different new sites:
Token for one dollar off a tire from an Allentown, PA Tire shop
Navajo silver broach
Bicentennial commemorative token (sounded like a silver dollar)
1968 Montgomery County dog tag
1827 Matron Head LC
Willow Grove Park Souvenir token dated July 29, 1909
1891 Seated Dime
1864 Nova Scotia One Cent
1940 Washington Quarter
1923, 1934, 1941 Mercury Dimes
1903 O, 1905 Barber Dimes
(2) 1882 Indian Head Pennies
18__ V Nickel
Tombac button with no shank
Civil War Eagle Rosette
And the best find of the bunch... My first Spanish Silver!
Horribly bent, and yes I flattened it out, keep your criticism to yourself. It is a 1784 Mexico City MM One Reale. Five years in the making, finally.
The Willow Grove Park Souvenir is cool in my book. Willow Grove Park was an amusement park that was in operation from the late 1800s to about 1975. There is now a mall, Willow Grove Park Mall on the site. Here is an old postcard and close-ups of the token
Lastly, here is the rosette that I posted earlier today I the What Is It thread. Got some responses, both here and elsewhere, that identify it as Civil War era. It has a lead back.
