Mae Bozi's Tavern, on Mapquest 1631 E Mason, Springfield Ill http://mapq.st/Ojn33u The address puts it not far off from the downtown. Does...
Sounds like a great theme. The Austrian 25 Euro coins have been doing some exotic materials lately. As far as zinc, you may want to look to the...
In the UK, I thought there was a law that automatically entitled the finder to half of the value of any find (based on what a musuem pays for...
The bull appears to wearing a garland of flowers. Would that be a reference to the Spanish bull who refused to fight matadors so he could admire...
Looks like a tram token. I picked one almost exactly like that up recently. After visiting the Saint Louis Transportation Musuem, it occurs to me...
That's a risque souvenir... if you spin the coin, there's another bear bent over "in front" of the bear that's risen up. As the coin spins, the...
Just out of curiosity, what makes you think the site used to host a tavern?

Was there a show or movie called Captains and Kings that I've just never heard of? Or a play? And was the brothel token a runner-up prize for not...
I have the full set in silver. If I remember correctly, the Elk was the hardest to get, since I bought them all separately. I also have an eagle...
