<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2510206, member: 19463&quot;]The people who spent your Morgans (actually the ones not saved in MS69) liked ancients better than you do.&nbsp; Below is an advertising token you could get with a catalog for Stearns bicycles in that day (1898).&nbsp; The original it copies makes Morgans look like things to spend on a bicycle.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]533796[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/dekadrachm-of-syracuse-with-quadriga-4100" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/dekadrachm-of-syracuse-with-quadriga-4100" rel="nofollow">http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/dekadrachm-of-syracuse-with-quadriga-4100</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The original was donated to the museum a couple years after they made the tokens.&nbsp; It weights almost 43g but is only 34mm diameter.&nbsp; Being thick works.&nbsp; If you want big coins, try early modern multiple Talers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
