Who wants to see some of my Monitor/Merrimac Exonumia??? (large pic warning)

As some of you will remember, I am trying to compile a set of Monitor Tokens in mint state. I also have the merrimac token which is my icon pic.

 

I have picked the pictured items up over the past year or so mainly on ebay and the majority of them have been pretty cheap except for the medal with ribbon and the little horseshoe but even both of those don't add up in price to what one token costs.

That's a pretty cool grouping. It's interesting to note that most of the tokens or medals try to depict the scene of battle in a very similar way, without too much individual stylizing.

Really great effort you have put in there goose! I like the idea very much and think you have done a superb job. Add a little of the history of the Ironclads if you have a chance!

That's a neat little collection you've got going there,John.

I'm not much into Exonumia,but I have to admit I'm tempted...

Goose, those are awesome pieces. I would also be interested in the story behind them.
