    I was wondering about that, too! Seemed a bit of a lowball estimate. image

    Great thread topics

    I like the stein the best- I am not sure how tough the .25 liter is- that is not a common size for Mettlach, but it is for the subject. Can you post a picture of the bottom of the stein?

    My only other hobby, yes many consider it a hobby (it definitely costs alot!), is maintaining a salt-water reef tank. I had a much bigger setup but had to downsize this year to accommodate a small apartment at school. These are my most recent purchase, a pair of clownfish, one orange and one black. Clownfish are interesting because all are born male, and then when they partner up, the more submissive smaller one stays male while the larger dominant one becomes a female. The orange fish is the female in this pair.

    Now, back to coins!

    This was my most recent NEWP. I've been working on a toned proof merc set and the 38 was deadly difficult to find toned. Happy to find this one! Now just left with the 36.
    Sorry for the poor iPhone pics. I can't shoot toned brilliant proofs with my real camera to save my life...

    Most people know I collect political items. Although 19th century tokens, medalets and medals are my first choice, once the pin back button was patented in the mid 1890s, that type of item quickly dominated the political trinket market. They are cheaper, easier to produce, potentially much more colorful and eye-catching.

    The "king" of pin back buttons is the 1920 Cox-Roosevelt jugate. Few people know it, but Franklin D. Roosevelt made his first run for national office in 1920 as the running mate to James Cox. They lost badly to the Republican ticket of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. The Cox- Roosevelt campaign was poorly financed, and there the number of campaign items that were issued for it were few.

    Here is a Cox-Roosevelt jugate. I could not get the money up in time to buy it for $20,000 so I don't own this piece which is a bit smaller than a quarter. It later sold at a mail bid auction for over $30,000.

    image

    So here is my consolation prize which I recently purchased in a Heritage political auction, a Franklin D. Roosevelt for Vice President pin. This is a rare item in its own right, and it is a bit unusual. Most of the time the vice presidential candidate does not have a button issued for him without mention of the man at the head of the ticket. This piece was issued before Franklin Roosevelt contracted infantile paralysis and was forced to use heavy leg braces or a wheel chair for the rest of his life. From that aspect it is an important collectors' item.

    BillJones - thanks for the very interesting and informative post! Just fantastic.

    While a cross between law enforcement and political collectables, ironically, as much as I can't stand him, I have assembled the only complete collection of Federal, D.C. and Military 2009 Obama Inaugural Badges in existence. It's been suggested that I loan it to the future Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture which I'd be happy to do.

    These, and the few Supreme Court Police Investiture badges (as well as those of my own agency) are the only ones that I collect.

    I believe there is a more than one Cox-Roosevelt juggate- the one made by Bastian Brothers is less -maybe $6-9K. Great to see the FDR VP pin-wonderful item. There is also an FDR pin from his Senatorial campaign which is even more affordable than the VP pin from 1920.

    There are five or six Cox - Roosevelt jugate varieties. None of them sell for less than a 5 figure price unless they have problems. If I could get one for 6 to 9 grand, I'd be a buyer. There is a Cox -Roosevelt watch fab in white metal that sells for less than $100, but the images on it are not very good. A hoard of them cropped up about 20 years ago.

    AnkurJ: That 1901 Pan-Am. Exposition Medal is one of my all time favorites. It's beauty is no surprise considering that it was designed by Hermon A. MacNeil, who also designed the Standing Liberty Quarter! They were produced in bronze, silver, and gilded silver versions...not sure about gold.
    They are quite scarce so you are fortunate to own a silver one.

    Also of interest is the sad fact that President Wm. McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist at that 1901 fair. image
