Way to go Carol! noce photos. Small, but nice. You might check to see if you can select a different resolution, and if so use the 600 pixels, max. better is 300-400.

Thank you Carol. They are shot thru a microscope, and posted, raw. I upload to photobucket.com, and from there, they are posted on the various forums. I got lucky, I guess.

Good morning to all!!Hope you all are well.I thought I'd show a few of the tokens I have.The 1st 2 are bank tokens from Canada 1/2 penny and 1 penny and are copper wich I'm sure many of you have seen.
This next one is from 1813 for trade and navigation and reverse says half penny token/pure copper/preferrable to paper.

This next one is from 1868 from Seymore and Blair who ran against Grant/Colfaz for the presidency which I think may be bronze or possibly copper.
 .
These next ones are in the same trend as others have posted.1976 Bi-Centennial transit token from Phila(my hometown) and a 1981 Chucky Cheese token which are brass.

Next is a bronze Medal from a Gimbels banquet in honor of Amelia Earharts crossing of the Atlantic.
These last 2 are undated but you cam get an idea of the era by what they say.
Just thought I'd share a little history and the different kinds of tokens that are out there.Enjoy
