#coincollecting — Public Fediverse posts

Happy third birthday to the first post on the site! Posted on the 24th July 2023. It is about a medallion of Saint Eligius: the patron saint of numismatics! Very fitting. The post itself is short, only 116 words if you include the title. The image description for the three images is longer! (at 128 words): https://coinofnote.com/saint-eligius-medallion/

The other post I have on the site about Saint Eligius has a little more on our patron: https://coinofnote.com/saint-eligius/

Many coin collectors and numismatists are also interested in #exonumia such as #tokens. Ancient tokens are called "Tesserae". The Numismatic Society of Diest have published a four part series on these pieces, and made it freely available.

I went to send a couple of transport tokens to a friend in the #USA today. With the current #tariffs, anything heading stateside needs to have a customs declaration with the right tariff code. The post office and I found some lists, but nothing on them close to #tokens. Does anyone happen to have a link or know what to put? Or is it just not worth trying to post to the US for now? The post office did say that they have had a large percentage of mail for the US returned currently because they weren't happy with the tariff code.

This is a gift for a friend, and has practically no value. I'd be very frustrated if I was trying to sell & post things as a business.

I didn't take a picture of the gift, but here are a couple of transport tokens from the blog:

Hi everyone! For those who follow me for numismatic information: good news! FediGroups have setup the @numismatics group, and you can follow it! I will try to ensure everything I post mentions it, and if you do as well, it will ensure I see it too :)

Thanks to @hello! And thanks to @FediThing who prompted me to explore further :)

Finally, for those who follow me NOT for numismatic news..... I am very curious - please reach out and let me know, as it is all I post! :)

EDIT: As I just remembered - you need to FOLLOW @numismatics before you can post to it.... and that applies to me to even though I requested the group :)
