Great tokens and great to see the TrueViews!

I'm a big fan of these Boston Numismatic Society tokens and have to send mine in some time.

Do you know what the following means: "Twin Delvers in the Garden of History".

Did you get the new NFC holders for these?

Also, this has a nice DDO on the "T":

That is really some classically attractive stuff!

Quite interesting, if I must say so.

I found this online long ago. http://ghlovett2.blogspot.com/p/isaac-f.html

“The Memorial Medal of the Boston Numismatic and New England Historic-Genealogical Societies, noticed on the last page of the American Journal of Numismatics for January, 1874. The obverse bears a fac simile of the seal of the Boston Numismatic Society, date of incoqjoration, etc.; legend, " Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant," " 1873," the four stars on each side of the date indicating the military rank of the Chief Magistrate during whose administration the medal has been struck. On the reverse is an elaborate reproduction of the seal of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, with a legend referring to both societies, "Twin delvers in the garden of history." The size is 20. The dies were executed by George H. Lovett, of New York, for Mr. I. F. Wood, the medal being the fourth of his "series." The issue in silver is strictly limited to twenty-five, price $ 2 each. In brass or copper, 60 cents each, or $1 the set of two. Early application is solicited from those desiring the medal, as the dies will shortly be canceled, Mr. Wood's invariable rule where any issue is limited, in order to protect collectors from fraud, and the possibility of future muling.
(from "The Banker's Magazine and Historical Register, Volume Twenty-Eighth, from July1873 to June 1874 inclusive", published by I. Smith Homans, Jr., New York)”

Nice medals.

The Peacock medal probably dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. The 1837 date refers to the date of the company's founding.

Yes, it does. And they are still in business. They came out with a new one celebrating.
I think @Zoins has one.
