Default Baseball coins

A post today asking for information on a Clemente coin got me to thinking about how obscure and neglected a segment of the hobby coins are in general. I have a collection of WaJo coins,, some dating back to the 1970s, with virtually no clue about details of production or distribution, with several being the only example I've ever been aware of or one of just a few. I would call it almost a parallel universe of these that has never attracted the interest of collectors. I love them, however, and have to believe that one of these days the hobby will turn its attention to these bright shiny objects, many made of precious metals such as silver and gold. Anybody else? Let's see your coins!

This would probably be the earliest baseball coin. It dates to 1861.
