1775 King George, Silver Navy Ring and Civil War ? Medallion

[bergie]

Great finds from Skunemonk he asked me to post. We were out recently at a 1700s farmhouse on a main road that is still in the same family 7 generations later. The current owner is in his 80s and just turned the house over to his kids. Could you imagine no mortgage payment for all those families. Must be nice...I found a few more modern silvers, but nothing too old. Skunemonk scored this very nice KG 1775, and this cool Medallion that says "United We Stand, Divided We Fall" with two bears, one on either side, and in very small type at bottom it says Populi Suprema (is that a Latin Pizza)? Any ideas on this item, please let us know. Finally, a really nice silver Navy Ring he found at a different site. No name or date to return. Great photos by Earthworks with his pro photo set up.

The medallion is the middle segment of a souvenir watch fob from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (world's fair) held in St. Louis, Missouri in 1904. The design is the Missouri state seal.

Fantastic, thanks! How the heck do you know that!!!!?

Hey bergie thanks for posting. It was great finally getting a George the
3rd you could read a date on. It made it even more special finding it at
a house where a soldier of the revolution lived. I wish the other kg's i
found over the weekend had that much detail left. Thanks again for
posting the pics. I love digging history. Earthworks thanks for the great
photos. You know what I just realized, George the 3rd's nose is almost as
big as mine. Haaaaaaaaaa, Haaaaaaaaaaaa!

Everything found is top notch. You are right..not too often does a KG copper come out of the ground looking quite as good as this one. Congratulations.
