Awe shucks . . . . I'mma dog for pretty shiny pieces . . . . . . chasing them like the squirrels they are. How'z about these? All photos below are mine, and how they actually look. I call these Ultra-Proofs . . . . . . Z
If you troll fleaBay like a dog, you can run across those TAMS medals really cheaply. I think I have between $12 and $15 each into those. It takes dedication, but a lot of these exonumia pieces can be acquired quite affordably. With mintage numbers in the tens or hundreds, the equivalent in the coin world would cost more than my house.

Thank you for the tip. I was warned when joining here that I would be branching out into new arenas of collecting lol I think I found the next arena
Been over the briges many times, Eric. Interestingly, there was only a single bridge when built years ago. When traffic got too heavy for it to handle, a second "mirror" span was added rather than replacing the old structure. When close up, they're almost twins. Bruce
