Encased Buffalo nickelSupposedly 1918. It may be, as I can somewhat see that with my loupe.  "THE ESSENCE OF MORALITY IS THE CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS / GOOD LUCK"  "ACCEPT THIS LUCKY CHARM IN THE NAME OF A MOST WORTHY CAUSE" Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Toronto semi-centennial medal. I haven't seen toning like this on a white metal piece before. Some damage at 12 o'clock from a previous hanger, but I really like the design and toning on this one.  This was the last medal the RCNA had left. 100 were made to commemorate QEII's Diamond jubilee in 2012.  |

These are replicas of the 1867 Canada Confederation medal made from a plastic material. I believe they were made at the time of Canada's centennial, but I could be wrong. Not a lot of info out there on them. They don't seem to come up for sale too often.   |

Found this 1975 Bicentennial medal rummaging through some stuff last night. Issued by the US Mint. Had to take the photo through the mint plastic package. The medal itself looks in pristine condition.  |

New York Commercial Tercentenary Plaquettes Bought as "watch fobs", but they appear to have been made for inclusion in a medal. I'm calling them "plaquettes", as that is what the New York Historical Society Museum and Library calls the first one. https://emuseum.nyhistory.org/objec...ry-plaquetteI can't find much information about this tercentenary, as it does not appear to have been geared towards tourism and commerce.

We have medalette so why not plaquette? Had not heard the term but will gladly adopt it.

New York Commercial Tercentenary Plaquettes Very cool, Hondo! As a long-time Noo Yawker of Dutch descent, I find these to be fascinating memorials to the establishment of official business ties between "New Netherland" and the Dutch West Indies Company. The history of New York before it was ceded to the British in 1664 doesn't generally put much focus on the contributions of the Dutch who settled the Hudson Valley. I'm sure this tercentenary was seen as very necessary back in 1914 as a way to recognize and honor those early merchants, fur traders, and burghers -- and, evidently, the Native Americans who were here first!
