Thanks to New England Coin Rarities I have acquired an unusual but very neat Medalet. It is in the book #47 of the "100 Greatest American Tokens and Medals" by Katherine Jaeger and Q. David Bowers. This medalet comes in: White Metal 100-200 known Brass 75-100 known Copper 125-250 known Mine is copper 491C Rather than me give you the background on this medalet I have copied the page in the book and posted it below my images. The Medalet is designed by Lovett. Please read the article, it is quite interesting

I'm way ahead of you! Lots of nice stuff on there. I'll have to bow out to the big-timers though and just sit back and enjoy the pics.

Hi Stef,
That is a beautiful medalet.
Yours is in great condition and very visually attractive.
I love the cuds which, as I learned from you, are seen on all examples.
I would love to own that piece as it would be a welcome addition to any collectors set.
Nice pick-up.

What a wonderful medalet, Stef! I love the toning on the reverse. Is that a rim break at 3 o'clock on the reverse?
