Scored this lot for $60 on the bay last week and I just got back from a nice vacation in Plattsburgh, NY. I'm slowly going through it. So far I found some good ones!😀 These are the sellers pics.
Will post what I find. See anything good? @Zoins may like a few!

Looks like a great lot.... There will be a few treasures in there (looks like you already found one - check out the Elder thread here). Keep us posted on other finds. Cheers, RickO
Most fun I've had in coins for awhile spending under hundred bucks.
Sure will!

Boy, that's looks like a lot of fun.
Every once in a while ebay searching pays off !
Not sure the year this was issued but looks to be late 19th century or early 20th.
What is up with the one I highlighted in your image, it almost looks slightly off center?

It looks like an aluminum Franklin Institute token -- in the past they would let you strike your own tokens and errors are numerous in both aluminum & bronze.
That is actually an overstruck clad quarter. Looks to be some kind of Mason counterstamp. There is one over a cent too. I'll take a pic of that one next.
Here you go Sean.
Wow! Very cool set!
Congrats!
Those are some awesome and unique pieces! Congrats on a great score and it looks like a lot of fun going through it.

What a deal!
The DeLorey-1 Elder piece was worth the price of the lot!
Awesome to hear that!
Thanks Tom! When I first saw the pictures, I knew that big medal was definitely an Elder piece. Wondering if it's aluminum or white metal?
This is a DeLorey-5 ?
What's this one? Thanks!
It's a common one but still cool. I have another one in my collection which is a little better condition.

Yup Swiss but was wondering about who issued them. Found these old auctions.
