That particular G.A.R. post was chartered in June of 1883, so that medal/fob likely dates to sometime between that year and perhaps the turn of...
I've never seen the first type. The fingerprint is pretty fascinating, and it seems it must be an ID feature from that particular serviceman. If...
The only large cent LT I had in my old "Oddball" collection was this 1838 which had been carved into a seal matrix, but I'm afraid the pictures of...
I suppose so. @Lunchbox John has already claimed his. As of this post I have yet to hear back from @rp3989, whose last activity appears to have...

Oh, I love this motif. Have never had one.
Neat giveaway.

Bullion coins totally count.
Hey, hey, Deacon Ray - you're looking good in your Easter finery in the latest avatar, next to that mural. As to the coins, I forgot to consider...
