    I thought i'd take a picture and get opinions on these strange medalians. I have no idea where they came from, but i'm a curious fellow so please forgive me.

    the first one i'm thinking may be a church token of some sort? it has an angel , its not exactly round and has V+K stamped in the back pretty small

    the second one has a tribal figure drumming and says 'own drummer' on the back

    any ideas? thanks! If you dont, I understand these arent exactly 'coins'. but your guess is definitely better than mine.

    p91:
    The top one may be silver, check the mark on the back near the bottom right.
    The other is just pot metal, I believe.
    No big value either way (IMHO) except if the top one is silver, then melt.

    wow your good, found it in a snap thank you! I like this coin alot but isnt pewter partially lead? wouldnt it be bad to hold it often?


    the tribal one im sure is made of the same material... I like them both but I will probably end giving them away... clearing out the drawers slooowly but surely

    There is a lead free pewter...not sure if that is though. I looks like it is sand cast.
