There is a coin/stamp show in Salem, OR on December 7th. The large Portland show just happened earlier this month.
I personally go to Eugene Coin, good selection of US, foreign and bullion and the staff will always help you out. I know there are a few shops in Salem, 1 in Albany, and a plethora in Portland of varying quality. |

So I've had this cent for a little while and just got around to fishing it out and taking some pictures.
Not sure Exactly what to call the error due to how off center it is. And since I've moved away from collecting modern/US and focus elsewhere, rough value?

Thank you all for the feedback.
I think Spence is pretty close with it. Maybe a memento for a WWII vet since it is in a similar style as the dogtag listed.
Did quite a bit of digging through National Archives and WW2 databases and no matches for John J Keating that match the dates on the tag.
I'll just assume its Robin William's character from Dead Poet's Society until proven otherwise, hah |

Hello All.
Recently found this in a mixture of items and was curious if anyone had any ideas.
I suspect it to be some sort of memorial medal of the named person.
The N.N.V. I was unable to find anything that really matched. The most common was the Natal Naval Voulenteers from the Boers War, but the timeframe is off.
Front:
N.N.V. John, J. Keating 3-27-16 8-20-91
Reverse:
Fingerprint
Seems to be Tin or an alloy. Not silver
Any ideas are welcome?

Using this so I can remember this thread after work. |

Hey All
Recently picked up this Celtic coin from 20-1 BC, Andoco 1/4 stater.
I do not have a good guide on Celtic, just what I find on Wildwinds or other sites.
I am pretty certain it's legit, and the shop I picked it up from is open to a return if it comes back otherwise.
