I have been trying to add an example of each branch gold to my collection. The pieces are pricey for me, but I was able to save up and finally add a southern mint piece this week (first one).

Fraternal Order of Eagles.
. Link to Wikipedia
. Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E.) is an international fraternal organization that was founded on February 6, 1898, in Seattle, Washington, by a group of six theater owners including John Cort (the first president), brothers John W. and Tim J. Considine, Harry (H.L.) Leavitt (who later joined the Loyal Order of Moose), Mose Goldsmith and Arthur Williams.[1] Originally made up of those engaged in one way or another in the performing arts, the Eagles grew and claimed credit for establishing the Mother's Day holiday in the United States as well as the "impetus for Social Security" in the United States. Their lodges are known as "aeries".

picked up a few of these - without a doubt, the best designed obv/rev combo of any nclt i've seen in quite a while [imo, obv] - just incredibly beautiful
my favorite part is how they just absolutely crammed this coin's surfaces with details while satisfying australian coining laws by placing the requisite queens bust, elizabeth II, australia and 2021 super tiny on the obverse [apparently - I would've called that side the reverse, had I not looked up australian coining laws 🤷]
Just got these three today. I now have most of 'em-23 out of a probable 42. The latest I've seen is Clinton. I know Medallic Art was purchased by another company and these may not have been produced beyond that.
1916 Called to the Colors June 18, 1916 For Service On The Mexican Border So-Called Dollar - Gilt - by Schwaab S. & S. - HK-894C - NGC MS62 POP 1/1/1 - Ex. Alex A. Pancheco (d)
Great Mexican Border piece @coinsarefun. Given the difference in looks on these pieces, I wonder what a TrueView of this would look like.
Here's another one I recently picked up which says "Called to the Colors".
In addition to this NGC MS62, there is a NGC MS63PL and a NGC AU58.

and has rubs. But it’s not. I need to get it out and take a new pic and post it.

All of these with this theme and design are very difficult to find and near impossible to find in better grades. Most are vf to au
Got my 1904 $20 Lib today from @Rarity ! Strongest 62 I'VE ever seen. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the BS&T is my favorite place to shop!

That looks really nice for a MS62!
Just for fun I bought a few modern silver dollar commemoratives. Put them in Kointains before the old Wayte Raymond pages.

1921 National Guard Encampment So-Called Dollar - Gilt - by Schwaab S. & S. - HK-894H - NGC MS62 POP 0/1/1 - Ex. Alex A. Pancheco (d)
Nice condition. Missed the higher graded NGC MS63PL by just a bit.
.
Zoins,
Do you know how many of those encampment medals were produced, HK listed or otherwise?
I have seen only a select few. I think I'll start a thread dedicated to getting them out of the woodwork.

New purchase on 2/11/21. Spiral Aloe Silver Proof. Shipped today. I should have it in hand Monday or Tuesday.
That's technically the CoinFacts image. It's similar but doesn't include the PCGS logo, background or cert number. I added the TrueView above.
Lol @Zoins I didn’t notice that. Several of mine have it without the pcgs logo.
I wonder why they do that? I’ll search a few images and give examples
