  RWB stole my line. Put it in an airtite and carry it in your pocket, pull it out if someone wants to see a picture of your wife/mother-in-law, etc.

  Very cool, Steph! When first seeing the witch....(until reading the included page from the book) I immediately thought of Salem, MA, 'Witch City', only 20 mins NW from me, so I guess I don't 'appreciate' it fully for what it is, having been there more times than I can count. Though, I still love the logic of 'dunking'....where if you were accused of being a witch, they 'dunked' you....if you didn't drown, you were considered a witch, and then burned at the stake...if you drowned, you were not a witch and cleared of the accusation...if you were accused, you were all done, regardless...only in the Puritanical state of Mass!
  
  Didn't mean to get off topic, but the witch.....great pick-up, Steph! Must be one of the nicest examples of the estimated 125-250.
  
  Just noticed...is that a cud at 3:00 on the reverse???

  I'll come up with something.

  I've liked the piece since I've heard of it (don't have one). I suspect the reverse is a satirical jab at coin and medal collectors, a self-fulfilling statement that's they'll buy anything the medallists of the day would produce.

  Holy carp, that's even MORE awesome! A numismatist in a tricornered hat? Oh, man.
  
  I love love LOVE that piece.
  
  Must be a fairly early use of sans serif lettering.
