"Regarding Dave Hirt's question in his commentary on J.N.T. Levick: "There is a token in this sale that I can not identify. It is lot 1056 Warren & Son, Sacramento, tin, size 25. Perhaps our token collector readers can help us identify it. "

"This is most likely one of the agricultural medals that I wrote about in the June 2020 issue of the Medal Collectors of America MCA Advisory. Col. J.L.L.F. Warren issued two sizes - the smaller one, for his 1852 Agricultural and Horticultural Fair is 1.5 inches in diameter or "size 24" in the old catalogs. I suspect that the "size 25" listing came from a slight error in measurement. Almost all of the examples of this medal that I could locate in old catalogs are unawarded.

"I also spoke about Col. Warren at the 1st Newman Numismatic Portal symposium. See Award Medals from the California State Fair and their Precursors (https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/588176)

"See above for a picture of the medal in "tin"
