First lady of elongateds, A couple of books on them

Ray Dillard one of the great ones that passed this year. was a fixture at ANA shows handing out elongateds wrote a couple books on them and was an all around great person.

When is a token not a token? When somebody removes the ribbon and loop from an army service medal. this is an Army Mexican service medal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Service_Medal There were two versions Army and Navy ones. As far as I can determine they made tokens of this medal. On the edge you can see were the loop was snapped off. And on another note this may be the last post for awhile,due to the virus it seems that most of what comes into the LCS. Has been coins,and bullion, very little tokens. so I am fresh out of posting subjects. I haven't took pics of a partial set of Franklin issues.
