1853 PERPETUAL CALENDAR MEDAL

[Electricbutter]

Scored this today. Had no idea what this was until I got home. This thing is cool! 1853 PERPETUAL CALENDAR MEDAL R.PAINE, SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Looks like they are pretty collectible in the numismatic world. So is it a token or a medal? Some call it both. Thanks

Token or medal, I'd say that is one heck of a find.

Nice! I didn’t know they existed until now. What kind did you find?

I saw those. I can’t believe these can be graded. So cool. Thanks

You don't see those get dug every day! I only found a piece of one about 30 years ago. Great find!
