I listed a bunch of oddball stuff on eBay, closing Thursday afternoon. A complete listing is available on eBay; some highlights follow:

Hand-painted miniature scene showing three llamas and a farmer on an Ecuador 1890 1/2 centavo



Engraved award medal (by Tiffany) to a listed artist, awarded when she was a 12-year-old schoolgirl, for her artistic specialty as an adult


1916 Franklin Institute Medal of Merit, awarded to pioneering physicist Arthur S. Eve


Set of four So-Called Dollars from the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition -- three top-pops -- including original holder


1957 Eisenhower official inaugural medal, in silver


Original 1912 Victor D. Brenner plaquette


World's Columbian Exposition "Milan" medal, in largest size (4 in), framed copper shell of obverse


1860-O seated dime, ANACS VF details (I think better)

Thanks. I like the Tiffany medal, but my the painting is my favorite. Surprisingly, an eBayer was able to identify both the mountain (Chimborazo) and the artist (E[milio] Moncayo). I didn't think I had any chance of identifying either!

I remember your painted Ecuadorian coin from the Darkside posting a while back. Really neat piece.

I love the VDB plaquette. I'm probably not enough into exonumia to cough up your starting bid, though. I see it is about to end in an hour without any bids, but maybe you'll get some sniper lovin' at the end.

If it goes unsold and you have some wiggle room on it in terms of swapping, I might be interested.

One of the really neat things about exonumia is that everyone likes something different!
