Message:: [QUOTE="hontonai, post: 741959, member: 4703"]Such medals typically sell for <$1, unless there is a collector of memorabilia in the category of the medal available.Yup.No, as stated in my first post, it's a commemorative medal. Round metallic items can be broadly categorized as: <ul> <li>Coins - Government issued money, bearing a denomination and indicia of the issuing administration</li> <li>Tokens - Privately issued money-substitute, such as telephone tokens, bus tokens, game tokens, etc., and small change provided by merchants or others when the government doesn't provide enough</li> <li>Medals - Items designed to honor a person (example - the Congressional Medal of Honor) or event (example - the 150th anniversary of the admission of Vermont to the Union as a State).</li> </ul>There are, of course, exceptions and variations, but those definitions cover the vast majority of cases.[/QUOTE]
