JohnQPublic Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 04/02/2026 11:23 pm This coin was struck in Rhenium, Zirconium, Cobalt, Hafnium, and Tantalum https://en.numista.com/catalogue/se....php?id=3631 Mine weights 6.6 g (close to the stated 6.8 g in the link), pretty much conforming it is the tantalum version (I purchased it as tantalum). Tantalum had a series of 100, the rest 10 or less. Report this Post to the Staff

nautilator Valued Member United States 333 Posts	Posted 07/01/2026 01:44 am This medal was issued by the Numismatic Society of Vienna in 1880. It features Joseph Hilarius Eckhel, sometimes called the Father of Ancient Numismatics for being one of the first to publish research on the matter. And wouldn't you know it, the medal says AES PRAEBVERVNT NVMMI ANTIQVI CONFLATI i.e. these medals were made with melted-down Roman bronze coins. Tenino's covid money doesn't really need an introduction or explanation. I called their City Hall, they told me they were made of sitka spruce, much like many of their originals. May as well add in another lava medal. This one shows Luigi Palmieri, director of the Vesuvius Observatory during the late 1800s. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26098 Posts	Posted Today 16H 23M ago Recently added this one to tokencatalog. Plastic may not seem unusual to us now, but when this token was issued plastic was an expensive material. This establishment (which in no way resembled an actual country club) was in business from the 1930s until it was sold and renamed in the 1950s.
