More on Curved Coins
Regarding the curved U.S. baseball commemorative coin mentioned last week, Joe Boling reminds us that we discussed a few earlier curved coins last September when the baseball coin was first announced. Predating the baseball coin were the Royal Australian Mint's Crux Silver Proof, and France's 2001 silver coin commemorating The Last Franc.

A George Lovett Easter Medal
Here another item on the Easter medal theme. This is the only one I have seen and although not signed by George H. Lovett I have tentatively attributed it to him because of the association of both dies to others attributed to him. If any of your readers know anything about this I would love to hear from them. It is on my website also - http://lovetttokensmedals.com/Churchtokens.html.

Quick Quiz: Find That Whale!
If anyone can answer this I'll be really impressed. John Kraljevich's ad last week pictured a close-up image of a whale. I wondered what coin or medal this was taken from. Does anyone know? Any guesses?
