COIN DEALERS ON MEDALS

Regarding Nick Graver's query on coin dealers appearing
on medals, Pete Smith writes: “I have a 375 page manuscript
on “Personal Tokens and Medals of American Numismatists.”
At last count I listed about 6500 items. Many of these
are for coin dealers and include club medals, Civil War
tokens, encased coins, elongated coins, plastic tokens,
wooden nickels, silver bars and similar stuff.

Many of these pieces identify the individual as a coin
(or token) dealer. There are also things like wedding
medals for the same people that do not identify them
as dealers.

There are also coin dealer tokens and medal for firms
(like Heritage or Superior) that do not include a
personal name. I have accumulated a few but have not
produced a listing.”
