Been a while since I posted stuff here. I was planning on shutting down my sales on eBay for the year... but as long as I've taken the pictures let's put them to some use.
Prices include shipping within the US as long as you pay by check. I'll accept PayPal also, with shipping additional.
1876 Centennial Exposition shooting medal, proof silver, 44.1 mm. Cataloged by Ron Abler as Abler-650. Stack's has sold a two or three of these in the past ten years or so; this one is far nicer than any of the Stack's specimens. $600
1914-D key date Lincoln cent elongated for the 1933 Century of Progress International Exposition. I know that the date is hard to make out in the pictures; I might try for better photos at some point. I absolutely guarantee that it's a 1914-D 1c -- the date is totally clear in hand. The Belgian Village elongate design is cataloged as ILL-CPIE-16. $150
1921 silver Parker medal from the St. Johns, New Brunswick public schools. In its original felt-lined box. Medal is 48.2 mm, signed by Allan Wyon. A lovely proof piece -- if it was an American medal, I'd be keeping it for myself! Stacks sold a similar one in bronze for over $400. Many award medals have been harshly cleaned/polished over the years since they went to people who didn't know anything about coins. This one might have a few wispy marks. That's about it on the surfaces. There are some marks (test marks?) on the edge that are not visible at all when viewed head-on. This is engraved to JOHN H. BOND at the 12:00 edge. $300
Opening Ceremony In Appreciation medal for the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Edgemarked J. A. MEYER & CO. / LOS ANGELES. 38.2 mm. $250
1938 (1998) Jefferson private pattern produced by Coincraft of London. One of 1998 pieces struck by Coincraft of London in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the original 1938 design competition. Design reduced from original plaster models auctioned by Stack's in 1994. Silver, proof. $100
Set of four quack medicine 'battery' amulets: the common(ish) Boyd's Battery along with Richardson's Battery (with the heart in the middle), Sagendorph's Batery, and Allen's Battery. The first three are listed in Rulau. I've never seen another example of Allen's Battery, and I can't find any information on it anywhere. $400 for all four.
1896 Bryan and Sewell presidential campaign Gold Bug pin. In nice condition with intact photos and easily movable wings. Approx 38 x 35 mm as shown with wings extended. SOLD
Older's Museum , Circus & Menagerie shellacked advertising mirror. In good condition with intact mirror. 37.8 mm. $300
Set of three Statue of Liberty medals. Largest two are American medals by Barber, 58.0 mm. Smallest is a French medal (with BEE CUIVRE on the edge) by Tasset, 50.7 mm. The smaller medal is one of my favorites, with a lovely typo (as made) in the reverse legends: IN / REMEMBRANCE / OF THE OLD FRIENDSHIP / BETWEEN / THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE / BY / PUBLIC SUBSCRIPTION / AMONGST THE CITIZENS / OF / BOOTH [sic] NATIONS / 1776-1876. Since the Statue wasn't actually presented until 1884, the design on the 1876 medal is an artists's conception. It's interesting to compare the two designs to see how things changed over that last decade. $300 for all three.
c1810 Map of the World medal and two others, in their original red felt-lined box. Medals approx 50.8 mm. I love these medals, showing what was known of the world at the time. I especially like the islands of Owyhee (think about it) in the middle of the Pacific. That wasn't a typo, but rather the spelling that actually was in use at the time. $1,200
Another small Map of the World medal as above, but no case. $800
A large Map of the World medal, similar to the above but somewhat different designs. 75 mm. $900
This pair is nominally MI-20 (Winfield Scott) and MI-11 (Jacob Brown). I say nominally because they’re black, and I don’t think that’s from toning. These are apparently cast plaster — there is some discussion about Borghese objects online. $300. If you take both, I throw in a third Borghese piece (Winfield Scott) in white plaster that has unfortunately fractured in three pieces, bummer. Sorry for the focus; the glass is throwing off my camera.
