Very unusual, I like it!
I just recently started looking at some of the numerous PPIE medals/tokens and realized I shouldn't have lol... there are SO many cool pieces and I do NOT need another series to work on!!

@Catbert I agree with you. They look like they have seen a lot of history used in commerce, but pulled out of circulation while there is still plenty of meat on the bone. There is nothing better IMO, than seeing a 7070 album full of coins with that consistent theme.
Oh boy.. real 3rd party TPG here, but then once in hand it will be off to pcgs or ngc for a proper grade and slab...
definitely bought the coin and not the plastic this time lol....
I'm getting my collection ready for Halloween with this piece. My most recent acquisition. It's a very rare 1805 medal by Friedrich Loos. It commemorates Dr. Franz Joseph Gall, the creator of the pseudo science of phrenology.
I added these two to my MS64 V nickel collection yesterday. The 1889 has a super solid strike, which is one of the primary things I look for in this series since many are not well struck. The 1909 is what I would call a "95%" strike since all stars are well formed, and the left corn ear is complete but the individual corn kernels are hard to make out.
1973-S CLAD PCGS PR70DCAM Eisenhower Dollar (Thomas Cleveland) POP=1/0
Clad proof Ikes of 73-S, 74-S and 76-S are quite rare in high grade and nearly impossible to locate in 70.
That is a nice looking coin. But something about the look of it causes me concerns (counterfeit).
While you still have a potential time window to return it, you might want to seek out a professional authentication.
Do you think it has an embossed mintmark? I'd like to see a close up pic of the edge at the mintmark location.
No, I suspect the whole coin is a counterfeit. But I would need a closer examination.

You like it? Was a personal favorite for a while.

Another Circa 1853 added to my mid-century group in AU-58.
Yes! very much so... I can see why you liked it! Original surfaces on a solid VF coin! It will fit well in the Type Set...
edited to add: I may upgrade at some point... and I'll let you know when I do. Best, Leo

Good to hear. It's a lovely example. Not too upset about it selling for a bit under expectations knowing it's going to a great home.

I've been working on a date set of Morgans in mint state. Most dates aren't difficult, but this is one of the tougher ones, even in MS63.

I think that coin depicts his natural hair color. Does that slab have a button you press somewhere where his voice tells you the election was stolen?

Updated: My 1853 obsession continues with this nicely toned dime & quarter.

This coin is flashy - just like a Morgan dollar.
