It's Saturday. I've got my daughter off to ballet, coffee in hand as I sit in the parking lot relaxing with thoughts on the hobby. Post a coin, token, or medal and share something interesting... F.R.Behr. Detroit, MI. PCGS AU53 This is one of my favorite tokens of all time. F.R. Behr operated a saloon/bowling alley during the Civil War and issued these 19mm copper tokens that were good for a glass of beer. An obvious play on his last name, the token has a dancing bear with beer spilling from his mug on the obverse, and a bowling ball with a pin resting on it on the reverse. One of the coolest designs on any Civil War token, hands down!

The presentation of that coin makes it look like an animated cartoon, pretty amazing.
