That's cool! I've seen one or two of those on the bay over the years. Gotta love the Libertas Americana obverse.

Yes, they have quite a few different ones for sale on Ebay, but they are mostly 1876 Centennial tokens
or a different Merchant. This one IMO is the nicest and closest in design to the actual medal

I THINK I won this one. I won't be convinced until I get an invoice.

I bid on a few of those Libertas tokens. They went for significantly higher than I have seen them sell for in the past, so I decided not to bid. I won this trade dollar:

Nice one, Tom. I was wondering if you were going to bid on a silver friend for your gold one!

I think I won this one:



"1776 Continental Dollar. Bashlow restrike. HK-853a. Bronze. Rarity-3. MS-60 BN. Medium brown with blue and rose tints mixed into the reflective fields. One scuff grazes the link engraved N. YORK which extends to the center atop the devices. An early die state before the gouge appears above the O of CONTINENTAL."

Quiz: Why did I bid?

Ah I see what you mean. The other ones have different reverses. You got a cooler one.

Well, you've discovered Bolen medals. I think you'll have to get more now.

BTW, the Musante book on Bolen medals is one of the best books on a specific exonumic topic, so you'll probably want to get it. Actually, even if you don't have any, you'd still want one.

Duhhhhh, that is soooo cool, thanks Aegis3
I guess it was a good price
