Beautiful medal, yarm! I also collect exonumia that relates to coin and token collectors. Thay include personal pieces like yours, medals issued...
Yes, it is a very nice design, Paddy. Is it silver? Bruce
I like this one even more so that the last. Absolutely outstanding workmanship. Bruce
Thanks for the history, Wehwalt. I would imagine these were sold in some capacity to at least reimburse them for the expense of producing the...
Man, that's a very impressive medal, Whewalt. Do you know why it was issued and the meaning of the dates 1870 / 1970? That is a good size if it...
Nice and unusual look to this one, yarm. The "roughness" of it is very appealing to me. Bruce
Thanks, Paddy. Being attached to a box seems like a good possibility. Bruce
I went to the Baltimore show on the 14th, and despite the convention center closing early, I found this interesting counterstamp at Steve Hayden's...
That's an unusual medal, Wehwalt. It is a privilege to own something like that. I'm glad you appreciate its significance. Bruce

That's really interesting, Paddy. At first glance I thought it was an ancient Roman coin. It appears to have been made to be attached to...

I'd guess $20, Cascade. Your best bet would be eBay. Bruce
I checked this as much as I could, Cascade, but had no luck. There could be another initial before "C" that we can't see, so makes it even harder...
There are a few "Mowry" counterstamps documented, Cascade, but not this one. I'll look around for you later, but have to go to work right now....
That's a little treasure, Paddy. You come across some very interesting things in your travels. Bruce
That's a tough one, Paddy. Your guess of a peacock feather is as good as any I can think of. It's possible that the feather, if that's what it...
I see these on eBay once in awhile, D. I think you did good at $19. There are some that have a number counterstamped on the reverse that replaces...
Very nice, Paddy, but as you say, sad that these types of things don't always remain with loved ones. I've thought of this is regard to privately...
Please let me know how you do with the plaque if you sell it. An interesting piece for sure. Do sell on eBay, Paddy? Might get more exposure there...
