After owning 4 Dalmatians in my years... this was a had to have...purchase.
This one for my gal's Bo, Savanna, Bab's & Lucky...4 great pups.

 

Been waiting a long time to find one of these.
1943 zinc plated steel Blank.
19mm, 2.57g.

^ It looks like the edge is plated. Is it? Instead of plating punched blanks they plated the sheet and then punched the blanks. The edges never received plating.

 

I've been picking up a few interesting pieces over the last few months.

1863 Swiss Shooting Medal Neuchantel Chaux de Fonds R-947b

 

Very nice additions, Z. Is the first one a Hard Times Token?

It's a post Hard Times and pre Civil War merchant advertising token.

c. 1850's Professor Johnson's Soap & Starch (Rulau M-NY-396)

At 28mm and 10.8 grams, it's the same size, weight, and composition as a large cent. Most probably circulated in a similar fashion as the Hard Times and Civil War tokens of that era.

Beautiful Tokens up there Z! Great minds think alike, I have a couple you have, so I gotta say, you have good taste!

 

Thanks, Z.

I was able to purchase one of these 1 OZ. Silver Rockets from Landis Studios yesterday.

 

I do not think it is. I really have no way to test if there is or not.
There is no rust on the cut part of the edge and there is some
rust on the shear part of the edge.
As I do not have another one to compare it to, it does make it hard to verify it's authenticity. It is possible that it is a fake. But until then.

A recent addition to my Columbian Expo accumulation.

 

I even found a slab for it
So while I was making labels I made one for this also.

 

Latest Daniel Carr arrivals.

Per his production blog, dies were created from Bashlow's original 1960's Continental Currency hubs which Dan used to create a new series of restrikes.

Comparing these to Bashlow's 1960's restrikes, the Moonlight Mint strikes win hands down.

@fretboard , @MIGuy ,

I just had to show you this one.

A 1906 Cincinnati Fall Festival Medal (HK-652 I believe) with the most incredible toning I've seen.

I had one, in the original case --

But my massive Columbian collection was sold back in 1991.

I had figured that was the peak of the market.
