Neat little group. Mexico 1784 2R, 1757 1R with "W.G." countermark and hole, 1810 1/2 reale, and a 1723 pistareen 2R, Madrid mint. Low grade and some problems, but still a nice starter group of early silver for only $SOLD

A fantastic piece of exonumia! The host coin is a 1909 Barber quarter that has been converted to a pop-out, or push-out piece. The motif appears to be Elks Lodge-related, but we are not 100% certain of that. More interestingly is the fact that this item includes the original ribbon (or at least a vintage one). That is a rarity with pop-up coins. The back of the item has an attached piece that reads "PAT NOV 22 90," and a star has been added above the elk's head. Check auction prices realized for similar items, although you may have trouble finding one this nice with the ribbon. $95

An impressive accumulation of 16 bronze medals, 14 of which were struck by the U.S. Mint. The other two are Franklin Mint pieces, including a Jimmy Carter 1977 inaugural medal and a 1973 Nixon inaugural medal--both struck in sold bronze, individually numbered on the edge, 2.75" in diameter, and weighing in at a massive 7.8 ounces. 10 of the other medals are approximately 3" in diameter and range in weight from 7.8 to 8.5 ounces. Several of these large medals are still offered on the U.S. Mint website at $38 each, plus shipping. Also included are the following: 2" Woodrow Wilson medal to commemorate his two inaugurations, part of the U.S. Mint Presidential series, a relatively modern restrike, but produced by the Mint from official dies, designed by George Morgan; a U.S. Mint Abraham Lincoln birth centennial medal, restrike; large Mint oval medal in the style of Grover Cleveland's famous Indian peace medal; and 2.25" X 3.125" plaquette honoring Orville and Wilbur Wright, restrike of 1909 version, dies by Charles Barber. All pieces have obverse and reverse motifs. If you would like additional images, measurements, or information, please contact us at 888-655-9255, ext. 104. Mention the lot number. Note: quarter in images provided as size reference only. $180

This large group of exonumia features a 1935 California-Pacific Expo souvenir badge with pin in perfect working condition. It is engraved "DAVID" on the reverse and the underlying fields are prooflike. Also included is a 1935 elongated cent from the America's Expo in San Diego, a 1910 hand-engraved Century Road Club of America medal that shows someone doing a 1 mile race in 2:01 (scarce item), a Ch. Uncirulated 1928 flight medal that is gilt brass, two beautifully toned Arizona and New Mexico tax tokens, a 1933 Ford So-Called Dollar, an Alabama token, and eight various tax tokens. A great group for the exonumia collector. $65

Three-piece lot consisting of (2) T41 1862 $100 notes and (1) T67 1864 $20 note. The $100 notes are popular. These appear to be from the same group, being only one number apart in the serial number and both with three stamps on the reverse. They are relatively bright with some crispness, although they show four vertical creases. The $20 note shows several vertical folds and one horizontal fold, but faces up nicely. Remnants of a red Palmetto revenue stamp is visible in the lower left corner (scarce feature). This lot is priced at $150
