    Dealer had four sterling flags from some sort of Franklin mint set. They were to scale so they were all different sizes. I picked the biggest of the four and put it next to a slab for scale - 1120 grains, 2.3 oz

    Those are fascinating and mystifying at the same time. How unpractical was it to carry around checks that consisted of wooden planks? What are the dimensions of those?

    They're smaller than I thought - they look much bigger in the pics without a reference. Very cool stuff.

    You have a very interesting collection of Mardi Gras tokens Circus. It seems to me that most if not all of the ones that I've seen are aluminum. do you have any examples in your collection made of other medals? Other than the clever designs, the bright colors of these pieces always caught my attention. A great series of exonumia to collect for sure.

    Here's a medal by William Wyon for the Reopening of the Royal Exchange in 1844. (BHM 2185) It's pretty hefty at 73mm and 213 gms and in nice shape despite a rim ding on the reverse.
