Exonumia is broadly defined as tokens, medals, scrip and other numismatic items besides regularly issued coins and paper money. By “numismatic exonumia,” we refer to exonumia that pertains in some way to the coin collecting field. Examples might include tokens issued by coin dealers or collectors, medals depicting prominent collectors or scholars, badges produced for coin shows, “Good For” tokens or scrip issued by coin firms, and so on. Much of the material included in this catalogue was collected by our founder, George F. Kolbe, over the years. Some of it is very rare. Some of it is quite obscure. We think it is all very interesting and a lot of fun to boot, and we hope you agree. —Kolbe & Fanning Terms of Sale Items listed are available for immediate purchase at the prices indicated. No discounts are applicable. Items should be assumed to be one-of-a-kind and are subject to prior sale. Orders may be placed by post, email, phone or fax.

  • Coin World Exonumia Dealer Stephen Tanenbaum Victim in NYC Spree
    Coin World World’s #1 Publication for Coin and Paper Money Collectors Exonumia dealer Stephen Tanenbaum victim in NYC spree Dies after being struck by car driven by suspect in four murders By Paul Gilkes - Coin World Staff | Feb. 21, 2011 9:00 a.m. Article first published in 2011-03-07, News section of Coin World Stephen L. Tanenbaum, 62, was fatally injured Feb. 11 in New York City when he was struck by a car driven by fleeing murder suspect Maksim Gelman (see related story, Page 54). He was not killed immediately, but died of his injuries later. Mr. Tanenbaum was an expert in Civil War tokens, Hard Times tokens, inaugural medals, mer- chant and transportation tokens, and many other areas of exonumia. A collector since childhood and a dealer for more than three decades, Mr. Tanenbaum was known to have assembled consummate collections of his own of exonumia in which he also was a dealer. He was often the go-to person to answer questions in many esoteric areas, often in areas of extremely rare and sometimes unique material for which Mr. Tanenbaum held the only known examples. Born in the Bronx, N.Y., Mr. Tanenbaum was reared in White Plains, N.Y. He earned a bachelor of science degree and master of science degree, both in material sciences, from Cornell Univer- sity, followed by a master’s degree in business administration from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Sloan School of Management. Mr. Tanenbaum worked as a financial analyst for several years for the Xerox Corp.
