There are a great number of Druid Head North Wales halfpenny tokens about; however, the number of those tokens dated 1793 and featuring this harp reverse is a fair bit fewer. A bit rough, it's done its work, but it's a slightly scarcer type. 1793 Macclesfield Halfpenny Token. D&H North Wales 8a, 35 acorns, star over center of 9, "mines"-type druid head facing left on obverse. Edge: Payable In Bedworth Hinkley Or Nuneaton

Got these a while ago, but haven't posted them here yet. All these are for my US minted set.     Bought em all in 1 lot for. Don't know if I did good or not but hey they were only 15 bucks. I really like the 1933 1/10th Balboa. With a mintage of 100,000 it is a key date for the series I believe. This one looked to be in better condition than most.

Got this boxed 3 inch 1960 circa Ulysses S. Grant presidential US Mint medal which was a restrike of the Inauguration medal in 1873 by William and Charles Barber. It will reside in the same neighborhood with the recent Robert E. Lee medal I acquired in my expanding medal collection.

More sterling stacking at fairly close to spot. About 2 troy oz of pure silver content. The most popular of the 50 medal set of Gilroy Roberts birds series. No 11 Bald Eagles ( complete in box )   That little stand might come in handy for picture taking too of other coins.
