    FYI your piece is not an R-8 or R-8+ token, more have been found, but R-7 ain't too shabby either. Which is why it sold for under $300 on HA.com and prior in the Ford sale for even less a short time prior to the HA.com auction. And as you know sometimes confusion on identifying them occur since there are a couple o different allows and platings that we3re done. Still a wonderful piece of N.Y. history and the silversmith's that that labored in the early 1800's.

    Was interested in the new PCGS registry shopping deal so I actually created some registry sets and found that this coin of mine had a true-view that I knew nothing of. So I thought I'd share it here.

    1876 Stephen F. Whitman & Sons, Chocolatier, Philadelphia, PA, 23mm Diameter, White Metal.

    This pictorial token has a reversible die design which shows a smiling & frowning face.

    It's unlisted since it was never seen by Benjamin Wright, Donald Miller, or Russell Rulau.

    There were two minor varieties of inaugural medals issued for Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941. The first one had a mintage of 1,000 which sold out.

    Given the demand, the Inaugural Committee decided to issue an addition 2,000 pieces. The second run was like the first except that a small "2" was placed between the branches at the top of the wreath on the reverse. The first issue generally sells for a couple hundred dollars more than the first.

    Neat medals, Bill. I have never seen or at least paid much attention to them.
    The obverse is very unusual. The texturing and irregular outline of the bust is interesting.

    Good to see both of the 1941 Inaugurals... Jo Davidson did the 1945 Inaugural as well which I like more.

    How do you see the 1933 Inaugural- Do you see the ones struck by Medallic Arts as different? certainly, they are rare and more desirable

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I have never seen or been able to buy the 1933 inaugural medal by the Medallic Art Company. I do have a "normal" example.

    I think that the 1945 FDR medal is neat also because it provided a clear reflection of how bad Roosevelr's health was in 1944 when he was re-elected.

    I have seen the Medallic Arts 1933 Inaugural and did not buy it- huge mistake on my part. I do have the non Medallic Arts as well...
