Fixed price Exonumia catalogue
Kolbe & Fanning issue exonumia catalogue
Kolbe & Fanning have released their first catalogue devoted to numismatic exonumia: tokens, medals, badges, scrip and related items that pertain in some way to the coin collecting field.
Examples include tokens issued by coin dealers or collectors, medals depicting prominent collectors or scholars, badges produced for coin shows, “Good For” tokens or scrip issued by coin firms, and so on. Much of the material included in the catalogue was collected by founder, George F. Kolbe, over the years. The 90-lot PDF catalogue can be downloaded from the Kolbe & Fanning website.
The catalogue includes many rare and often obscure items. Some interesting highlights include:
Lot 1: Isaac F. Wood Memorial series medal honoring president Grant, in brass, 1873. NGC MS64.
