I've updated my photo album in the US Collectors Gallery with eight new photos. Everything in there so far is hand-minted:

Edix, those look really cool! Thank you for sharing them with us. :)

OldDan,
I only wish I was skilled enough to mint them. The items in my small private minters album come from bonafide contemporary minters, with differing levels of skill and technology. Some are by Ron Landis of the now defunct Gallery Mint Museum, some by Greg Franck-Weiby who creates annual tokens for the Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association shows, some are by Del Romines, who has been very sick these past few years, and a few by actual coin dealers, both in Alaska and Canada. All in all, I seek out the unusual and intend to add more to the album as time goes on.

Your use of the Gallery is noteable! Keep adding images because these HoBo Nickels are something else!

You have a great album! Small private minters sounds like a great Topical too.
I have some of Kyle Mutcher's tokens too.

Today I added a new folder for world coins in my album. There's one item in there so far, a bottle of coins that a friend brought back for me from Iceland. I've also added a couple of new items on the second page of my private minters folder. These are all Christmas presents.

I never knew ANS published tokens for their conferences. I have their book for papers read at Coinage of the Americas 1994. Everything in it is some kind of exonumia.
Now the Numismatical writing dude has 100 Greatest American Medals and Tokens out--an excellent book too. Exonumia is moving up in the world!
