I do much the same, I wait until I have 10 or 20 coins needing flip inserts and print them all on one sheet in laser printer ink.  Cut on dotted lines.

The Members' Gallery / Re: Tracy’s Relatively New Gallery

« Last post by Tracy Aiello on Yesterday at 07:46:34 pm »

Courtesy of three wonderful lots right here on Forum, which I purchased from Joe, I suddenly find myself interested in medals and tokens centered around Lord Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson. This new addition to my gallery was not from Joe; that one is coming later this week.

I just added a Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners Royal Benevolent Society Membership Token to my burgeoning collection. Per the Royal Museums Greenwich website this is a membership token issued annually as a receipt for a subscription. The date at 6h is the date of issue, which would make sense given that it is an annual membership token. Besides, I’ve seen other examples with different dates. I assume that the № in the left field was for inscribing one’s membership number, but I have no evidence of that.

I hope that you enjoy: https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=187095

Nice,

What you mean with ''unpublished'' for your last photo? For me its RIC 1604.

Dear friends,
Has someone seen similar example of this denarius,  Or could identify for me?
Didn’t have much luck.
Hoping it’s a genuine piece.
 
Many thanks,
Norbert
