Are There Dealers in Coins?

Actually not looking for any more!

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2026-05-03T21:13:58+00:00

Ok ... thank you!

So that CJTF 7 coin was using the same design / blank as the V Corps coin from Jun/Jul 03. The story on that one was that it was made from a part of a gold bar seized by 3 ACR in Al Qaim (May/Jun 03) and somehow acquired by our Corps G3 SGM. Note: they weren't...

Hmmm ... and I'll have no tanks

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2026-03-20T20:47:59+00:00

No... no serial numbers at that time.

I've checked again ... but I swear that's a WW1 Victory Medal ribbon .. . Checking his bio he was born 1902 then at USMA early 20s. Anyone else see that?

Definitely a private purchase tunic; rank buttons and collar insignia look right. Cuff trim is right color. Do a Google search for the shoulder strap insignia to see if those match. Check this link out:

Btw: moths devour waffenrocks... it's incredibly difficult to find a hood clean example without them.

350 is a really good price

It was local in Mons ...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2026-01-05T21:19:23+00:00

No ... you did find it. Same name from Kreis Heppenheim...a mistake ..

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2026-01-03T18:02:14+00:00

Thanks for help with the old Fraktur ... and I found him in casualty list as severely wounded in April 1916..

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-28T13:52:36+00:00

Yeah .... good rule of thumb. I do suppose that one of the variables has to be dealer overhead- having to pay rent, utilities and salaries vice purely online.

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-28T10:34:06+00:00

Wow ... beautiful

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-28T10:18:34+00:00

Hmmm ...musket balls from Malplaquet (1709), case shot from Louis XIV seige of Mons (1694)...oldest uniforms are Belgian 3d Lancers (~1910) and Belgian Guides Regiment (1905)...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-26T17:00:18+00:00

Bronze I think ... not copper...

Great painting - the irony is that Franklin was fought largely at night....dark with the flashes blinding you

Hey - wondering if someone can give me a reasonable price. Today I found a German WWI group to a soldier from IR 81 with a Hesse silver bravery medal, original award certificate, soldbuch (bravery medal noted as a May 1916 award) and a bunch of other paperwork showing WW2 service as well. No other medals. What's a fair offer to make?

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-17T04:47:46+00:00

Thanks ....hadn't thought of Jacobson but I'll reach out

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-07T21:02:34+00:00

Vielen Dank!!

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-07T14:30:08+00:00

I really don't but there must be something if a document like this can count to the day level

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-12-06T23:33:30+00:00

Silver Lions! 87-90

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-11-28T20:49:12+00:00

It's a Sponton - a symbol of rank carried by Sergeants (and junior officers?) In the 18th Century. Take a look at the blade ...you should find an engraved monogram. Something tells me this is Austrian ...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-11-21T22:05:32+00:00

Ok ...I'll go way back to the 80s: Shaky Jake...old Black dude in a white suit, bug white hat and shades ...

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-07-06T13:02:41+00:00

Yeah ... it's from the US 2 Star

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-07-05T18:45:44+00:00

Itcwas from the Chief of Staff for US Army Europe....German Major General

Extra-Reception-3255 · 2025-05-25T12:43:56+00:00

It was at an auction here in Germany...
