I also picked up something interesting that i haven't been able to find on ebay. They were sold as coasters but they don't have the cork bottom and have the designs on both sides. They are 3" replicas of a $20 Gold coin. 8 of them are 1882 and 1 of them is 1884. Probably worth nothing but seeing how i only paid $2 for all of them i don't think that was too bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wish i had gone today out of curiousity.
