		Bronze medallion, 2½" diameter, issued by Maco in 1979. Recto depicts a high-relief profile of Lincoln, around which the above caption wraps; verso depicts three monkeys (doing the hands-covering-the-eyes-ears-mouth thing) poised above two gas pump nozzles, bearing the caption, "The Government, the Congress and the Oil Companies at Work on the Energy Crisis." Fine. Unusual contemporary political satire.

		Most unusual 2¼" diameter irregular-edged planchet, apparently of lead, with no manufacturer's marking or year indicated. Slightly convex recto depicts a right-facing bearded Lincoln in suit, running down to mid-chest (1½" height), with "Abraham" at left, "Lincoln" at right and "1865" below. Roughly trimmed edges turned upward, and slightly concave verso is blank. Very good. Barely visible hallmark below Lincoln likeness appears to read "JKE 90." Though undated, both the likeness and the surrounding typeface strongly suggest this might be a circa 1865 mourning commemorative. Perhaps a trial strike? Not in King.

Mint (medallions)/good plus (folder). Folder slightly soiled and a tad edgeworn -- a self-mailer, though unaddressed and never used. Stapled inside this folder is a sheet of patterned translucent mylar of some sort to which are affixed the five medallions, which bear superb likenesses of Generals Grant, Meade, Sheridan, Sherman and Thomas. Versos contain text only, the high points of each particular general's career and the major battles in which they participated. Though undated, clearly issued during the Civil War centennial period.

Superb bronze medallion created by this noted medallion firm exclusively for the posh Madison Hotel of Washington, DC. Recto features fine head-and-shoulders 3/4ths relief portraits of the 4th U.S. president and his First Lady, and below them the caption "James Madison &#91;"M" hotel insignia] Dolley Madison." Unusual recto is largely filled with a square plaque bearing a full year's calendar, with "19" at left of it and "84" at right, a bald eagle above and a banner below reading "The Madison &#91; logo] The Dolley Madison / The Madison Hotels." Top of rim is stamped "Made Especially for Marshall B. Coyne." Housed in a fine burgundy presentation box stamped "Compliments of / MARSHALL B. COYNE / Proprietor." This in turn is housed in a larger presentation box together with a fine wooden base for displaying the medallion upright and a descriptive leaflet giving the history of the "1984 Calendar Medallion. Coyne (1911-2000) was long "the dean of the hospitality industry in Washington" -- and a long-time close friend of RALPH G. NEWMAN (1912-98), the noted Lincoln/Civil War specialist and founder of Chicago's famed Abraham Lincoln Book Shop, who helped him form a celebrated collection of historical documents. Medallions thus stamped were produced in a modest quantity for personal distribution by Coyne to friends and associates. This particular example came from Ralph G. Newman.

		Cleveland, OH: I.P. Sherwood Dry Goods & Millinery, 1863. 3/4" diameter. Very good. Bright and attractive, with original luster. Typical copper coin, no denomination stated but certainly one cent. Recto depicts a left-facing relief bust of an Indian in headdress surrounded by 13 stars, the year "1863" below. All-text verso reads "I.P. Sherwood / Dry / Goods / & / Millinery / Cleveland, O." Although the Indian recto is one of the more common Civil War token designs, the store specific advertisement on verso makes this rather uncommon. The original sheen still evident makes this an especially attractive example.

Dix (1798-1879), while treasury secretary, was credited with saying, "If anyone attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot!" Recto depicts (what else?) a waving U.S. Flag surrounded by thirteen stars, and around this the text "The Flag of Our Country / 1863." Verso states "If Anyone Attempts To Tear It Down" in the outermost circle, "Shoot Him On The Spot" in a small inner circle and finally "DIX" within a small rope circle at center.
