I’m super happy it graded a MS65DPL. Pretty nice for a raw pickup. And, so much nicer in hand.
I was hoping to have a new piece in hand for this weeks post, but it hasn’t arrived yet. Here are the GC pics of one of the acquisitions enroute. Been a quiet time for me lately, but I have line of sight to 4-5 upcoming Patriotic CWTs. Here is an Indiana primitive, that met my eye appeal vs price ratio.
Thanks to a tip from a fellow forum member I was able to pick up this Merriam token featuring Sampson's Ice Cream Soda Water from a recent Stacks Auction.
Then lightning struck again and I came across a seller offering an original card from Sampson's dating back to 1865.

If you collect exonumia, and if you fancy personal store cards of prominent numismatists as much as i do, then you may consider the following token a "Holy Grail" piece like me.

The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
That is super interesting @ZoidMeister I've never seen nor heard of his card. Very cool.
. @crazyhounddog you are too funny….lol
I’m glad that me and everyone that posted in this thread and other token threads get coin people such as yourself to look and enjoy them as much as we do.

I haven’t had much new material but I did manage to get a few things that are coming soon and will post when they arrive.
Actually I did get a token/medal and didn’t even have to pay for it. Just give PCGS a 150 various tokens
and coins to grade and image and they gave me a few gold boxes and this.

Thanks for keeping this thread and tradition going. I will try to start taking pics of a few recent acquisitions and post them. They are all patriotic CWTs.
Hoping that others will also get re-energized to show off their cool tokens. I know I would personally enjoy seeing some CWT eye candy or historical pieces, to re-energize my searching.
Again, some really excellent tokens/medals posted here. I have 15 nice medals in for grading and True Views, but that was almost 3 months ago, and nothing is even graded yet, and the photos will take at least another week after that.
I was barely able to get this (tied with many for top pop) Teddy (2013) Presidential Chronicles Set medal and I will say someone else wanted this way more than I expected. Had to resort to a tactical nuke bid because I finally just got tired of losing. If you have a (2014) Franklin Roosevelt in MS70 for sale, please PM me.

Ah yes, that's the classic JBK dollar. None produced for some years but maybe it's time for another production run.
I found this for sale at a bookstore. When I saw it, I looked at prices on eBay and decided to buy it. It has really nice toning, but I have no idea what it is. I'm not really a token guy (yet?) but I'll do more research on it in the morning.
