Got this little piece in the mail with a solicitation to join the History Channel Club. It was glued to the letter which I half read before shredding.
Medalet, Medal, Medallion
Let us throw up some definitions:- Medalet = no value or trade, round, two-sided, less than 25mm
- Medal = no value or trade, round, two-sided, between 25mm - 80mm
- Medallion = no value or trade, round, two-sided, more than 80mm
 |
| This one has a die crack, common among tokens and medals it usually adds no value. |
Funny thing about value. On eBay someone was selling 100 of these for $5.00 meaning each one is $0.05. Also online someone sold one for $18.00. The average sellers price is $3.00 but for an advertising medal it seems too high.
Here are the stats for this token and the coin itself...
Type/Country: History Channel Club / United States
Year: Unknown
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Unknown
Weight: 1.80 grams
Diameter: 21 millimeters
Thickness: 1/32 inch (I enjoy mixing up measurement standards)
Obverse Writing: THE HISTORY CHANNEL CLUB
Reverse Writing: 17 76
Value: $0.10
Typical Americana designs of an eagle, union shield, Liberty bell, arrows, and leaves are on it but not with typical symbolic meaning.
Do you have a medalet and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I did some CRHing, I found a 1955-D nickel in VG-F. I also found a 1945-S Si G-VG or F condition. How much are they worth?
1955-D nickel in VG-F about $0.07
1945-S Si G-VG or F condition about $2.00
I thought of you the other day, as I do more regularly that I should probably admit, when I received a 1964-D nickel and a 1966-P dime in the same hand of change. I found it unusual, for some reason.
Anyway, in comparing the nickel to a 1946 nickel that I have, I found that the older nickel's font was much more "crisp" even though they are nearly the same state of wear. I first thought it was due to the different composition of metals wearing differently, but at a closer look, the fonts seem just a tad different. Just thought I would share. :)

There have been minor changes but in general older coins have sharper designs because of the machines. Newer machines are more efficient and strike more coins and uses less pressure.
Kelly, I often read your blog but do not comment because I feel I may offend since I have strong feelings about most of the subject matters.
That said I was forced to read 'Women Who Run With the Wolves' in college and quickly offended everyone when I wrote an A+ paper of how this book is ridiculous but entertaining.
I've got one of those History Medalet's too, although I got it from my dad, which I'm sure he received in the mail. I'm surprised people are trying to rip everyone off by charging $18 for one.

Some auctions started at $1 and went to $10, I do not understand.

They should have dates somewhere on them but if not just list the denomination and describe the front and back with some details and maybe I can date them.
is newyorkmint.com and govmint.com trustworthy coin websites?

They are overpriced but aside from that most people have few legitimate complaints.
I have never used them and probably never would.
I think my secret is safe here: I tried but didn't get far into Women Who Run With Wolves. It just didn't grab me like other books have.
It is interesting that you read my blog, but do not comment. I can handle your strong opinions, as long as it isn't that you, say, strongly dislike me, for instance. ;)
I'd like to hear from you, actually, I know you've got some smart things to say. It doesn't really matter if they are what I want to hear or not.

Well I have nothing sage to say and all I can hope is that you keep safe.
Funny, I've found that people who are able to use the word 'sage' are usually the ones with the most sage advice to give.
The least you could do is email me sometime when you're bored.
Ok your still at the lonestar email?
Yeah, that's my direct line.
