    Yeah, Z, he was a very nice man and very appreciative of anything I sent him.

    Nice Santa Fe token!

    I never thought of this before, but 'FE' is the chemical symbol for iron.

    Iron Santa - interesting.

    If there was ever an Iron Man it would have to be Santa. Nobody else can do what he does every year.:D

    @ZoidMeister,
    I'll be glad when they arrive to take better images of them.

    A curious bit of bullion that found its way into my collection.

    I swear, you have the most unique stuff. A beaver. What else would the Canadiens put on their coins? :rolleyes:

    What drew me to it is that it was struck using a completely hand engraved die.

    Minted by John Masterson of Beaver Bullion, Ontario, Canada. Created for the 2019 CSNA Convention in Calgary in cooperation with Canadian Coin News.

    There is a strong Beaver Bullion collectors base in Canada it seems . . . .

    Independent Lumber Company Okahumpka, FLA. aluminum, 28mm, 1.75 grams, rotated reverse, also graffiti on reverse. R6 of 6. Not exactly a "looker" but that's how it usually goes when it's only 1-5 pieces known to exist.
    When I saw this token I used it to start a CT thread called Funny Town names. I never thought I end up buying it.

    Nice. And it has a double pedigree: Ex. C.R. Clark & Tony Chibbaro.

    I have Clark's last edition and supplement. I think he died almost the same time I mailed the check. His son filled the order. And I have Tony's catalog--a magnificent piece of work.
