Thanks, jbuck!

Bronze, two sizes. 1.5 inch like above (Ike sized) and 3 inch

I would love the 3", but $160?

Yeah, a little steep and bigger than anything else I have. The two inch, two and one half ounce 2019 Liberty Medal is the largest item I have at this time.

This is my largest medal - 3" 1884/5 Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition in New Orleans. Had to find a special holder for it, and the size makes it difficult to store with my other coins and medals. It will have to be next to my 10 oz Queen's Beast, which is a real monster!

Here's an innocuous token with an interesting history I found in a grab bag. 25 PAC is a bronze 25 centavos Pacific Air Command token from the 1940s used at the USAF Pasig Airfield, Philippines. More details in this link: https://www.numismatics.ph/tokens/m.../25-pac.html

Excellent score, Diverdude! Thanks for the history. Most people would have assumed that it's a maverick and let it go at that.
