I wonder whether there is any interest in running a section on recent Exonumia finds each month, similar to the one in ‘Free Discussion’?  I've posted a number of recent medal finds and get very little, if any, response.  I'm not sure the die hard coin collector is all that interested in exonumia.

 

Here's a starter for 10 which I found in a bag of coins in Swanley, Kent/SE London last week.

 

 

Your thoughts?

Totally down with this.

 

I am mainly collecting Franklin mint United Nations fal-di-ral such as this ,

 

5x25g, .925, for US$110,  for the irony, and the history,  at not much above melt…

These are all way better than my puny little finds, although I haven't had a great deal of time recently for my collections due to work.  

 

Well done all !!!

However, I did find these earlier in the month…

 

 

 

The red pencil is an attempt to get some colour into the photo

 

 

 

My 1st item of exonumia from India

 

 

 

The Pope is dead, long live the Pope - or words to that effect.  Seems that Pope Benedict is a bit out of favour, as these things tend to be kept.

 

Only a few days of July left, so happy hunting to all.
