Help I.D.ing a Sweet Caporal Button/Coin
 

Posted By: <b>Gary Weatherhead</b><p>Came across a Sweet Caporal metal coin at the flea market today. Player depicted was Callahan. I had the dealer put it aside for me while he looked tonight for any more he might have. Anybody have any idea what this is and a rough Idea of value? He was asking $40.00<br /><br />Thanks for any help.<br /><br />Best<br />Gary

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I'm guessing it might be a domino disk.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Posted By: <b>Gary Weatherhead</b><p>I don't have the coin yet because I left it for the dealer to hold for me while he looked for more, So I can't post a scan as of yet. The dealer said Callahan was a hall of famer but I'm not sure about that. The domino disc might be a possibility.<br /><br />He is going to have a batch of thirties cards tomorrow so if all goes well I should have some scans.<br /><br />Thanks \<br />Gary

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Callahan is not in the Hall of Fame and $40 is too much. I would exercise caution with this dealer.

Posted By: <b>Gary Weatherhead</b><p>I found it in one of the guides. it's a Domino Disc featuring Nixey Calahan. <br /><br />Edited to add, Barry is right this dealer does not know what he is doing. However, from a friend I know that if you buy a good number of cards from him he will accept a low dollar offer.<br /><br />Best <br />Gary
