I don't know if any of you are into these, but I have recently "discovered" vintage the object of exonumia known as the Masonic Penny. While most of these I have seen have been quite pedestrian in design, there are a FEW that stand out.
I am guessing the dates on some of these are the original founding dates of whatever Masonic Chapter they are commemorating, but just from the looks of the strikes, these look pretty darn vintage.
I have received a few more than I have imaged right now, but I'll share a couple I have photos of. There are a few more interesting designs I need to photograph.
For your enjoyment.

1860 Lincoln Wide Awakes token - Silver - R9 - by George Hampden Lovett - for William Leggett Bramhall - Baker-659M, Musante GW-346 - Ex. F.C.C. Boyd, Wayte Raymond, John J. Ford Jr, Q. David Bowers
Only 3 of these were struck in silver for Leggett Bramhall, the first curator of the ANS.
Matthew Wills wrote:
During the four-way race for President in 1860, the six-year-old Republican Party found support from a new generation of voters who helped push Abraham Lincoln to victory. They were known as the “Wide Awakes,” because of their youth, enthusiasm, and torch-lit nighttime marches. “Now the old men are folding their arms and going to sleep,” said William H. Seward while campaigning for Lincoln, “and the young men are Wide Awake.”
[...]
Southern elites felt threatened by the Republicans, a party founded in 1854 by, among others, those who stood against slavery—or at least its expansion. Ballots for Lincoln wouldn’t even be distributed in ten Southern states. Some Southerners, and their Northern supporters, were sure the military-style Wide Awake cohorts were readying an invasion. There were even anti-Wide Awake factions, like the Chloroformers, who would put the Wide Awakes to sleep.

Agree!
Just recently? I think only recently did we have a Token Thursday!
Token Tuesday seems to have stopped way back in 2013, at least that's what Google and Forum Searches seem to show.
Also, the revival of Toner Tuesday has token up the Tuesday slot recently.
If anyone is thinking about more days, we do have 5 other days to use
