Question about recent Exonumia I bought whilst on a trip.

7 posts • viewed 45 times

Hello Numista forums I first time posting! I was recently at the Hearst Castle in San Simeon and bought a token from the gift shop. It is not currently on Numista but was from the gift shop in a cover. I am only able to send the front due to the back having a price tag sticker but here it is. I am unsure of its weight and composition but some help to be able to log it would be nice. Thanks! This is not a question of identification but a question about it not being on catalogue. Thank you! 😃

Best if you can take pictures of it outside of the capsule. They can be tough sometimes to get open. Using this link

Token - Hearst Castle (San Simeon, California) - United States – Numista

you can use the “Duplicate this page” link at the bottom to start a new submission. It will do most of the work for you. It will copy EVERYTHING except the main photos. Then just edit, add and delete what applies to your item. Is it magnetic or non-magnetic?

Should I do this with or without gloves on?

If it is your first time taking one out and you do not want to possibly mess it up. I would suggest gloves.

Alright I'll do it when I can since I lost it after rearranging some stuff. I have a similar exonumia that I tested with a magnet not too long ago with the general same coloring but from AZ and it did not stick to the magnet.

I found it under something and upon magnet test it did indeed stick to the magnet! Fortunately it didn't really get dirt on it either! But I can confirm that it is indeed a magnetic coin!

The picture looks yellow. So, to be sure not to guess incorrectly what the composition is. I would enter it as plated with a Nickel Steel core and Nickel Brass plating. IMO
