    I bought this on eBay (using the listing's photographs). What I find odd about this is that the astronauts' first names are not included, only their middle initials. And it says "MADE IN CANADA" on the edge, and there is a (serial?) number, 011291. Maybe 40mm.

    I posted this one before, but I just like this old goat on a rock. High relief and great patina! PhotoEditor_20190917_203838960.jpg PhotoEditor_20190917_203942380.jpg

    when you buy in bulk you never know what will end up in the mix. This uniform button from a gas station is enamel and could be removed from the clothes for laundry it is enamel

    Oh, so you got some of @lordmarcovan 's elongated coins? Nice! You need to find a nice, high sulfur envelope to keep the dime in!

    I did snatch up a new Air Force token from Germany but don't have any pictures yet. I also picked up some French jetons - pretty far outside of my regular collecting habits but I think they're pretty cool!

    I think that kraft paper envelope might have exactly that effect over time. I wonder about that, anyway. Maybe it'll give the silver some nice color. Who knows. Those Merc dimes I used for the host coins already had 75-100 years of natural toning on 'em, prior to being elongated. Made the design on them stand out nicely, even when "smushed".

    Thanks. They've sold well so far on their first day of being offered, but I'll also be doing some random drawings soon to give away a couple of free sets, both here and on the CU forums.

    French jetons can be stunning, and that piece with the lion is no exception!

    Here are two silver ones I've had; the first one now a "bygone", and the second still in my Eclectic Box collection.

    France: silver jeton of Louis XV, "Aurora in cloud chariot", undated (ca. 1740)
    Feuardent-13203, PCGS AU58, pop. 1/0
    [​IMG]

    France: silver jeton (insurance token) engraved by Ernest-Paulin Tasset, 1869
    Gailhouste-690, PCGS MS63, pop. 2/0.

    @Jwt708 - I see the "Kerry Wetterstrom" collection is cited as the pedigree on your lion jeton.

    Speaking of exonumia, and that pedigree (about which I know nothing), I just picked up this fun little 11 mm Mexican gold fantasy token in @John Anthony's latest private auction (wherein I saw some jetons quite similar to yours, but not your exact pieces).

    This piece is dated "1865" but was actually struck circa 1960s. So it's a fantasy, but apparently good gold, unlike some of those "California" fantasies from the same era.

    It was an inexpensive impulse bid. Fun.
