<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 4879527, member: 19765&quot;]I forgot all about this thread, I collect George B. Soley Tokens and Medals and I just put together an album if anyone is interested.&nbsp; To get to my albums click on my Shotgun avatar above and you&#039;ll see where to go!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Also, as I was doing research, I found out that George Hampden Lovett engraved the obverse of this 1889 Medal.&nbsp; I found out this information at the below Yale University link, apparently Universities take donations of numismatic items which is really cool and something I just learned a few years ago! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> This Medal was issued in 1889 and the size is 25.5mm which was a standard size at the time and approximately 1 inch across.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a pic of one of mine, another thing I learned in my research is there were a ton of die sinkers in the US and many of them lived right around the US Mint building in Philadelphia.&nbsp; Many were US Mint employees like Soley, but some weren&#039;t.&nbsp; Someone could write a book about all the die sinkers in Philly in the late 1800&#039;s, if someone already has, hit me up with the info!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/107776" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/107776" rel="nofollow">https://artgallery.yale.edu/collections/objects/107776</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1178575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1178576[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
