c1894 Iran Gold 10 Toman
I saw this Iranian gold coin on Sixbid - it is in the recent Sincoa AG Auction 49 held last month. Gotta love the 'stache. I believe this is
lot 52, a gold 10 Toman of Shah Naser al-Din (1848-1896). -Editor

Two Dollar Bill With Andy Warhol Signature
Andy WARHOL (1928-1987) 2 DOLLAR banknote signed in the felt on the face with postage stamp and postmark, 1976 WARHOL workshop stamp on the back
Dimensions: 6.5 x 15.5 cm
These are plenty of postmarked bicentennial two dollar bills around, but how many with the signature of Andy Warhol? Cool item. But where was it
postmarked - can anyone make out the name of the town? -Editor

2017 FIFA Confederations Cup Gold Medal
A FIFA Confederations Cup 2017 Final Match Winning Player’s Original Gold Medal. This medal was one of the actual medals that were awarded to the
Germany National Team Squad members& staff in their celebration ceremony for winning the FIFA Confederations Cup 2017 Final Match against Chile
National Team on July 2nd, 2017 in Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg, Russia, where Germany defeated Chile (1-0) via a 20th-minute goal from Lars
Stindl to claim their first FIFA Confederations Cup title. The medal is in excellent condition.
An absolutely historic and breathtaking piece of Soccer history. Comes directly out of the German traveling Camp to Russia from the 2017 FIFA
Confederations Cup; a Tournament which is held once every four years!
Not a beautiful medal, but a nice piece of sports memorabilia. see the article elsewhere in this issue about the sale of a Croatian World Cup
medal. -Editor
