Victor D. Brenner (1871-1924, NY) bronze plaque of Abraham Lincoln in relief. Signed lower right, copyright 1907 by VD Brenner. Titled "Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865". Victor David Brenner was one of the premier American metalists of the late 19th and early 20th c. He is best known for his design of the Lincoln penny. In fact, it was this 1907 relief plaque design which brought him to the attention of Theodore Roosevelt. He insisted that Brenner be the one to design the 1 cent coin to celebrate the Lincoln centenary. Mounted on a green marble back with bronze easel support. The plaque is 9 1/2" x 7", overall with mount 11" x 8 1/2".

Vegvisir Wayfinder
The Vegvísir, or Norse compass, is an Icelandic magical stave, which, according to the Huld manuscript, protects one from losing their way in bad weather.

The Helm of Awe
Ægishjálmur, or Œgishjalmr` or in English, The Helm of Awe, is a Nordic magical Stave which is meant to imbue its carrier with protection, and inspire victory in battle. We like to imagine helping in the day to day challenges of every day life, and how the stave might remind its carrier how strong they truly are at heart.

Earlier this year we sent out an email offering a large selection of Dan Carr pieces. Well, we're back with another big group that we acquired from a long-time customer of ours.

These are fantasy issues, all designed and produced by Mr. Carr. They are quite popular among many collectors (and a bit controversial among others). For those not familiar with him, he designed the actual New York and Rhode Island state quarters for the U.S. Mint.

All but one are ANACS certified. Some have the accompanying tag with his signature, most do not. You can find them in our Tokens category
