I didn't know there was a book on Philly silversmiths, Bill. I wouldn't mind picking up a copy if any are around. Although I've disposed of most...
Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures here, Bill. I've been looking forward to seeing them. I like them all, but the Whitmore piece is...
That's a nice looking, high-relief medal, Pickin and Grinin. You expect that quality from Medalic...beautifully done. I like the portrait too,...

Too bad about the pics not showing. I'm going to try one to see if I have any luck.

Some really nice tokens there , Jack. The Robins and Forbes pieces are really in great shape. Just out of curiosity, do they grade these at all,...
