Found this recently in a lot of coins and tokens. It's actually a so called dollar from the 1901 Pan American Expo in Buffalo. Not listed in H&K but it is in the new Shevlin book. It took me a while to figure out what the "R U A" stood for. Turns out it's very simple "Are You A" Buffalo. Fantastic! |

Fontaine Ferry Park Dance token. Fontaine Ferry Park was an amusement park in Louisville, Kentucky that operated from 1905 to 1969. I'm guessing since it's brass this dates to the earlier part of that time period. Outside of listings on Tokencatalog and Numista there is not much information about these online. They seem scarce.  |

Here is a British cast medal I recently picked up that copies a 1915 German struck medal concerning the sinking of the Lusitania. The German medal shows arms on the deck of the sinking ship (you can see a biplane and an artillery piece) and the legend refers to contraband goods, supporting the German view that the ship was a legit target. The British copy was sold fundraising medal for charity. Making note of the wrong date, suggesting the sinking was premeditated. (It was sunk on the 7th of May, not the 5th as stated on the medal). Here is a short but interesting article on the medals. Also shows the higher quality struck German medal. https://www.theworldwar.org/learn/a...tania-medals Edited by chrsmat71

Interesting token that showed up in a lot today. Dates to roughly 1905. Hotel Seattle was located in Pioneer Square.  |

Another one from the same lot unfortunately I have been unable to attribute this to a specific location. The Savings Bank Liquor House sounds like it would have been an interesting place.  |
