Received this commemorative through the post earlier today…
Not really sure it's a real coin, even though it's listed under the ‘Coins’ section. Your thoughts?

Just now won this - nearly 160 years old. Especially nice as at the top of
the obverse is a small owl, flying outwards from the medal.
‘German Olympic Gymnasium Medallion, London 1865’ [Pewter medallion, d. = 51 mm]
[FRISCH FROMM FROH FREI] [ZUM ANDENKEN AN DIE EINWEIHUNG DER
DEUTSCHEN TURNHALLE IN LONDON AM 28 JANUAR 1865]
I got most of the Gothic lettering correct, and looked to see if there was
a page that had it on to confirm. This page was found >

Got this silver set today. Everything I found online says that it is a set produced by Franklin Mint for Chase Commemorative Society. But I found that it was actually Medallic Art Co, (MACO) that produced it for them. Each piece is marked CSS for Chase Commemorative Society but it has no markings for MACO. I guess I can put in the mint MACO with the CSS as a mint mark and an explanation in General comments should work.

Apart from the pressed pennies below, which I bought during a trip to Portsmouth Historic Navel Base last weekend, May has been a bit of a ‘dry’ month for me. Hoping June will see an improvement .

Also, just found a really comprehensive website where almost every type of pressed coin, as well as it's location, can be easily found. One problem - it doesn't appear to be very secure (hence no direct link).
