NUMISMATIC NUGGETS: MAY 27, 2018Here's a selection of other interesting or unusual items I came across in the marketplace this week. Tell us what you think of some of these. -Editor
1641 Aire Siege Klippe  Lot number 792 A great siege coin - emergency money made from silver plate to pay troops. -Editor
To read the complete lot description, see: 1848 Lewis Cass Campaign Token   Lewis Cass: Key 1848 Campaign Token. Few items of any type are to be found for Zachary Taylor's 1848 opponent. Listed by Dewitt/ Sullivan as LC-1848-5, this 29 mm brass token is a collector favorite, in part because a Taylor mate was also issued. A clean, pleasing VF example. I came across this obscure item on the Heritage web site. -Editor
To read the complete lot description, see: Harpist Medal   Harp music LA MUSIQUE By Adolphe Rivet silvered-bronze 57mm I came across this one in the eBay stock of E-Sylum supporter Hedley Betts. I've seen plenty of coins with harps, but no one was playing them - with or without all their clothing.
