I guess I'll start with the coin as this was the only one that caught my eye that I felt the need to purchase.
A nice sea foam green and golden toned 1893 Columbian such as the one pictured on the cover of Anthony Swaitek's book.
Exonumia wise this 1837 HT-35/Low-21 which is the first issued in the Liberty - Not One Cent For Tribute series and is a tougher R-3 which circulated heavily and is tough to find not abused above VG. The only other 2 examples in higher grades that have come to market in the last couple years I didn't care for upon auction lot viewing.
I've been looking for a presentable example of a HT-290 / Low-126 S. Mayc-ock & Co. New York City. for a few years and have passed on both of the top pop's at NGC in the this years Stacks auctions. Again due to in hand inspection at pre auction lot viewing as they where not well represented image wise.
A 1837 HT-48 / Low-33 that I actually rejected about 2-3 years ago when sent to me via approval and afterward regretted. There's only been 3 RB example on the market in 6 years and I didn't fully care for the late die stage on this. When I questioned if it was still available a few weeks after sending it back the dealer mentioned that he wasn't sure of it's whereabouts and just found it again for this show.
A 1915 Gilt HK-428 R-5 Panama Canal Uncle Sam SCD that was designed by Charles Barber and struck on site by the US Mint at the exposition.

It looks like it's the drop (the bottom piece) from a bar-suspended badge for a 1904 reunion of Teddy's riders in Los Angeles. I'll PM you a link with some more info.
Nice to see you in Baltimore.

I couldn't stop thinking about after I saw it on Saturday as it was such a neat piece.
Even without knowing anything about it I felt I'd regret passing on it and grabbed it today prior to the end of the show.
<< <i>That TR is cool. Is he riding a bear? >>
Yup.......a Teddy Bear.

You were right, the Teddy medal did photograph well,
as did the others. Nice pick ups !!

That TR token is awesome. As you've probably guessed, I'd never seen one before.
The HT-290 is one of my personal favorites, as is my wife Lisa's.
The other HT's are much harder than people realize. I like the die break on the NOC coin.
This was our newp that I posted in another thread. It was Lisa's gift for babysitting me at the show, and she picked it out.
Cheers,
Greg

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
