3. My favorite of the three pieces. A token or medal maybe? Silver. About the size of a U.S.
half dollar. Weighs 6.35 grams. Dogs on the front and a neat ship in a storm on the reverse.

    I love the jeton! Of course I've been on a greyhound kick for the last year since we've gotten one. Is that one going on your ebay store???
