A campaign medal from John C. Fremint's 1856 run for the presidency, listed as JCF 1856-2. The artwork is considered to be the among the best in the 19th century presidential campaign series. It works with Fremont's "pathfinder" theme. That's the U.S. Capital up on the hill.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals.

And how! Ounce for ounce Tokens rule!
Something from Savoyspecial a while back, nothing rare or expensive but cool with a history.
This is from a man I knew, a wonderful man who has sinced passed on. He played the french horn with the L.A. Philharmonic for over 50 years and he played at this event.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."
