I have struck out at every auction so I went straight to a dealer. Thanks to Gerry F I was able to fill a type set need. Down to just a couple to finish the 12 coin type set.

This thread gives me an excuse to post my proof Barber half again. It is the only proof in my collection and it really has a lot of flash. I know it is a cameo (not on the OGH label) but wonder if it is a DCAM with its strong mirrors. Dunno! In any event, I was happy to pick this up at the Baltimore show. I'm cool with a one coin purchase at a show since it needs to be special to me. Not cheap, unfortunately
I'm not a Barber fan by any stretch of my imagination but this example is a beauty.

One of the highest orders of British secret societies. Not generally thought to be associated with Freemasonry but this piece is ripe with Masonic symbols.

Yes, an undated "token" from a top tier British secret society . . . . marked Cleveland Ohio?
Mentions of an encampment. I've only seen that term used in context of military battle reenactments. What British battle occurred in Cleveland Ohio?
Hmmm, a mystery for sure.
Then there are the various symbols on the reverse of this piece.
Masonic, Christian, Illuminati, Jewish, British Royal . . . .
I think my favorite has to be the diminutive skull and crossbones ☠️ on the obverse.

It would be rather exceptional for any organization other than an Agricultural Society to present an award of merit for draining swamp lands. 1859, Silver, 53 mm.
1959 Bugs Bunny FS401 unattributed. Heavy die polish lines from trying to remove the die clash, In hand this toning is a really cool cloth like blue-purple-red/orange.
They all turned out to be much nicer in hand and a special thanks to seller who hooked me up big time on the pcgs box
My shipment of Roosie’s got here. And thanks to Gumby for the generous donation of a SLQ for grandsons type set.
only 3 left-
64 Kennedy, a peace dollar and a blue pack 40% ms. Ike 71-74 and he’ll be done!
Good week coin wise sad times a happening else where in the world.
I hope cooler heads prevail.

I wonder why the best RR medals are from Argentina. We have a few nice ones but they have several really super nice ones. This included!
