    Well defined, interesting collection. I'm impressed.

    No, the one with the fish is more common in my experience but only because it is better known. I would probably put it on Ebay.

    Its not as fancy a picture:

    Sorry, I missed this question. It is III, the piece pictured is a New England 3 pence, extremely rare coin.

    I have two of the "short" stacks and two "tall" stacks. They would hold $20 dollar gold pieces or anything else you might want to put in them. They also come as "sold" stacks similar to paperweights. They were also made for the 1893 Columbian exposition and I suspect other events as well.

    A store card from 1907: Hanson mated a die from the 1893 Columbian Exposition with the store card commemorating the Jamestown settlement. The Santa Maria never visited Jamestown as far as I know, but its still a ship I guess.

    Although I already had a short stack, I couldn't resist this example with a souvenir sticker of German Day inside the lid:

    I've bid on several of these and never prevailed. Then, I found that Paul Cunningham had three in his stock at the ANA. I finally landed this example from Elder's satrical medals: I try to stop just after ribaldry.

    Elder held Lincoln in high regard and issued a number of medals featuring Lincoln. One of the large medals, with a beautiful high-relief bust: The dies for this aluminum medal were produced by Hanson in Chicago. Presumably, Hanson also struck the pieces. The issue included: Silver 5-6, German Silver 5-6, Copper 5-6, Brass 6-10, White Metal 6, Aluminum 50, Lead 6.

    It is not often that I find something new, but I am still looking: I'm guessing this was a button or lapel stud with the stud cut off.

    I love that fish. It makes a great image everywhere it is used.

    The correct spelling.

    I actually bought two of these. The second corrected the spelling and changed the reverse die style, same Lord's Prayer. Kappan notes that the two tokens share the same obverse, but obviously they do not. Aluminum would be the correct spelling, even in San Francisco at the time.

    I spent the last two weeks attending WESTS and the ANA in Sacramento. I bought a new Lord's Prayer token and a Dino-Lite digital microscope. The digital microscope is not my first choice for coin photography, but it is good for die studies and things like making measurements. The lettering here is 0.329mm high.

    This particular medal has low relief as so many did in the style of the time. I have some more to post, on with wonderful high relief.

    Yes, vary interesting. I bought the set of 12 in a "Dansco" album that has spaces for all 21 medals and it has the Father Serra medal as well. Your information explains why it is stylistically different fram the mission medals. I guess now I'll have to go in search of the other issues.

    Elder's Saint Patrick Halfpenny aluminum medal issued March 1910. The medal was designed by Max Bachmann. The reverse was inspired by the Wood's half penny. Elder was descended from the Irish. The aluminum medals sold for 12ยข when first issued.

    I will not collect Swiss Shooting Medals. I cannot compete with those of you posting here. I am not worthy. Beautiful medals. I will and do enjoy appreciating your accomplishments. Bravo

    I like that image.

    Great images! One has to wonder about the 1907 Peace dollar. 1907 must refer to some significant date for the bank, but it obviously had to be created after 1921. Interesting.

    Okay, its not strictly the tercentenary, but the medal commemorates the Pond who's catalogs number grace this thread.

    The reverse is the maker's mark.

    Another Los Angeles Rubber Stamp store card commemorating the 1923 Monroe Doctrine Centennial celebrated in Los Angeles.
