Sorry, I had to take care of some stuff and could not post at the deadline. All guesses up to this point count. I will post the Piece #2 standings in a bit. For now, I will show you what you were guessing on...

Piece #2 Scores!

NumisRob - 2.7
SpaceMaNy0 - 9.2
Bump111 - 13.2
carwash - 14.5
loonielewy - 16.2
Mrzllewellyn - 19.9
JimmyD - 22.7
Spence - 23.3
Crazyb0 - 24.3
mcshilling - 25.2
qaman - 25.7
Koinz - 26.1
T-BOP - 27.5
Tootallious - 28.7
nfine - 32.8
TNG - 34.4
scopru - 35.2
TheBurnz - 46.5

Congratulations! NumisRob is the Piece #2 winner! NumisRob will get second choice of prize after all three have been revealed.

It seems choosing the wrong decade skewed some very good weight guesses. That shouldn't happen with the last piece.

I have shown you the pics of the token and, as MontCollector pointed out, it is indeed a token made of vulcanized rubber. I thought the skull and crossbones made it interesting in addition to being rubber. I have no idea what the reverse means other than an incomplete alphabet. TLARGI stands for "The Los Angeles Rubber Group, Inc." TLARGI was officially formed in 1928, so this may be simply a 25th anniversary token.

Congrats again to NumisRob, and I will introduce Piece #3 shortly.

Piece #3

The third and final piece for your guessing consideration has a...

67mm maximum dimension.

This is the only numbered piece of the three.

Because I'm so behind on closing the previous round, guessing for Piece #3 will end Monday, August 13, at 7:00PM Forum Time, or maybe a bit later.

Knowing what you do of the first two pieces, remember...

One piece is not round.
No two have the same composition.
There is one each from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
No two are of the same exonumic category.
Each piece costs less than $10.
None are made of paper/cardboard.


Let's go!

Thanks for letting mcshilling and I in after the deadline. I'll go first on this one.

31.1 grams, 1978.

Thanks for the contest, and congrats again. I know you will probably have another one at 10,000 posts. See you soon for that one. .
