[QUOTE="CubsWin, post: 10682, member: 1034"]Hi Folks, My husband found this forum and said it was a great place to discuss coins. However, I also have a bunch of medal that I am trying to research, so hopefully there are some medals fans over here as well. In a large box of medals that I acquired, I came across this "thing". I don't even know if technically it is a medal, but it is something. :) I am pretty sure that is Ben Franklin on the front, but I am not 100% sure as there is no identification on the item. It looks to be iron and most of the people I have shown it too think it is pretty old. It is unique of the item in this box because of its size. It is 5 1/2 inches in diameter, much larger than all the other items. Here is a photo of the front. [img]http://home.comcast.net/~ebay2-hhearst/dscn4877_310.jpg[/img] The only marking I can find is this one on the shoulder. [img]http://home.comcast.net/~ebay2-hhearst/dscn4656_310.jpg[/img] Here is a photo of the back, if that helps. I have no idea what those yellow numbers are. [img]http://home.comcast.net/~ebay2-hhearst/dscn4657_310.jpg[/img] So, if anyone can tell me anything about this medal/thing I would appreciate it. I do have bigger photos if anyone is interested. Thanks for any help Kim[/QUOTE]
