    Two unexpected wins from the recent Harlan Berk Bid/Buy sale. I haven't had much luck at these when placing bids.

    Italy 1809 01.jpg

    Italy, Mazzoni, Dante’s Divine Comedy
    1809 Medal

    Laudatory medal by Mercandetti.
    Bronze
    Diameter: 50mm

    Impressive medal featuring Giacopo (Jacopo) Mazzoni and an interpretation of a Malebranche (demon). Mazzoni is best known for his work on literary criticism, particularly his defenses of Dante’s Divine Comedy.

    Seems, Bucklin was quite the entrepreneur.

    Most of the Bucklin examples I've seen show a lot of wear. Not too many nice one's that I've seen. I don't think any are common but one at least is very rare...sorry, I can't think of the variety off hand.

    No idea. I actually purchased it to give to a friend because he has a mini farm at his house. He loved it.

    Norris Cotton Mills, Cateechee S.C, Brass, C/A, 34mm 8.1 grams, thin planchet, counter stamped

    It appears the counter stamp punch slipped a bit or the token was re-punched and the punch not properly aligned with the old mark. Also, if you look below the "D" in GOOD on the reverse you'll see light hitting the push out. The counter stamp may be from Woodside Mills of Greenville, one of several companies that bought the Norris Mills.

    Daniel Keating Norris also named the town Cateechee after a Choctaw Indian woman named Issaqueena. She was captured by the Cherokee and taken to Keowee where they changed her name to Cateechee.

    One day she found out the Cherokee were planning an attack on the Star Fort where her lover, a trader, happened to be staying. She rode 96 miles to warn the fort. Today the town where the fort still exists is called Ninety-Six.

    There are quite a few variations on this story including an aftermath where the Cherokee were chasing Cateechee and she jumped a waterfall and hid somewhere until they gave up looking for her. Well, I suppose leaping a waterfall might get easier with pissed off Cherokees behind you.

    That waterfall still exists today and is called Issaqueena Falls. Issaqueena was Cateechee's real name before the Cherokee changed it.

    It's a cool story but just too too many variations to it. Sources: Numismatics of South Carolina Merchant Trade Tokens--Tony Chibbaro. And the Interwebbie.
