Great medals and tokens Stef!

I love the color on the Century of Progress piece.

The Admiral W.S. Schley / C.D. Kenny Co. looks to be in great condition! A nice Whitehead & Hoag piece.

@coinsarefun ....Great pictures of nice tokens Stef....While I have not collected tokens, many here do. I do have the catalog. I have long been sidetracked with challenge coins...but may one day venture into tokens. If I do, I will surely consult you for advice. Cheers, RickO

Great pieces!!! I started recently collecting US coins und said “only” half Dollars. Now I see more and more interesting pieces and the associated stories. Now I´m afraid of my good intentions. 😊

I originally started collecting Morgan’s and silver eagles. Then went all over the place but never was
really satisfied with the same design. Collecting mint marks or varieties.
I stumbled upon Hard Times Tokens and Civil War tokens.
I finally ended up collecting Marchant tokens or anything that is a nice pictorial.
