Made this find at the foundersday yesterday.

One of my viewers dropped by, and showed me this coin he had found. I purchased it from him at what I thought was a reasonable price. First one I've ever seen like it.

I have seen those before, too, but I always thought they were a pretty neat tokens.

They did a beautiful job of transforming an actual piece of history into that token. Andi

This is a very nice token, maybe not valuable but I would have bought it also, well done.

Nice looking piece!
I was confused when I saw the statement about 'First ship of the US Navy',
Which I had thought was the Frigate Raleigh, featured on the NH state seal and militia buttons, which I now know was a Continental Navy ship...
great piece of history you got
