    First up are some LONGINES SYMPHONETTE MEDALS that I have picked up over the years.

    Nothing Special I know but I really liked them and in hand they are very well made. The ships are like 3d Surfaces etc. I also had a Alamo one but that is with my son on his journey's.

    Next is one that might make you wonder why I got it. Well sometimes you have to get the wife one and she loves Bears and this was a better one than the Grizzly I got her from Canada. At least I think it is very well done,

    Now this last one is odd. I have only found one other copy of it for sale in some shop in Austria. You see sometimes I buy things and enjoy the journey learning about them. This one is not your everyday medal. I will give what information I have about it after the pictures.

    *** This one is awesome to have and I looked and looked, there are other Leo Zimpel medals out there but only one other of this could I find. It is just kind of cool. How did it end up in New York for sale at bullion value? Maybe that is all it is worth but to me it is a neat piece of history.

    Thanks for looking..

    It's Dectecto's thread in Coin Chat called "Let's see your exonumia." It will probably be on pg 3 or 4 of coin chat threads.
