When is a token not a token?


When somebody removes the ribbon and loop from an army service medal. this is an Army Mexican service medal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Service_Medal
There were two versions Army and Navy ones. As far as I can determine they made tokens of this medal. On the edge you can see were the loop was snapped off.
And on another note this may be the last post for awhile,due to the virus it seems that most of what comes into the LCS. Has been coins,and bullion, very little tokens. so I am fresh out of posting subjects. I haven't took pics of a partial set of Franklin issues.

Not sure if I posted this watch fob earlier, but with your love for all things token / exonumia, I thought you might like this one.
