 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no rhyme or reason to any of this, so – with a couple of exceptions – I\u2019m just gonna post these items in the alphabetical order of the folders they\u2019re in.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBadges\u201d worked out well for an opener, so it\u2019s on to:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BERGEN COUNTY PIPES & DRUMS:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

FIREFIGHTERS:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

My mother grew up in Williston Park, L.I. – right next to Albertson and she was quite impressed with this. The rest of the world? Not so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

LAKEHURST:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lakehurst is where the Hindenberg disaster occurred in 1937. It\u2019s also where some friends and I would go circa 1971 when they had surplus sales in a hanger.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

METAL FINISHING:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MORRO BAY:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

A cool little Pacific Coast town that I visited twice in the 80s and home of Morro Rock – the Gibraltar of the Pacific. Pix of that can be found here: https:\/\/iaintjustmusic.bobleafe.com\/?p=770<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOVA CAESAREA:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is actually another name for \u201cNew Jersey\u201d. Don\u2019t believe me?<\/span><\/p>\n

http:\/\/westjersey.org\/wjh_nova.htm<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why this commemorative item for New Jersey\u2019s Tercentennial has that name on the 1664 side.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Related: Another NJ Tercentenary item\u2026\u2026\u2026.this one in .925 silver:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SETON HALL:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SPORTS MEDALS:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If this is for a high jump, why is a naked sprinter shown on the front?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OK, so it’s not a sports medal……….<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TETERBORO:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Never heard of Bendix Airport? Teterboro\u2019s name was changed to Bendix in 1937 and back to Teterboro in 1943 (you HAVE heard of Teterboro Airport, right?). Any-<\/span>way, this is pretty rare.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

U.S. SENATE:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend of mine gave these to me.<\/span><\/p>\n

VILLAGE OF BERGEN:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WEATHERTRON PIONEERS:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I never heard of them either\u2026\u2026..but it DOES have that Davy Crockett look that no child of the 50s can resist.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE OUT-OF-ALPHABETICAL-ORDER EXCEPTIONS:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Picture #2 should explain the near-headliner status of this 101-year-old coin:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(no relation that I know of)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And for the grand finale, I give you both sides of a VERY patriotic-looking troy ounce of .999 silver, encased in plastic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The front:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Y’all ready for the flip?<\/span><\/p>\n
