[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 88706, member: 4350"]Hi All, I am trying to get some info on this thing. It is a Washington Medal from 1889 It seems to be listed as Douglas 51. Not being a token or Medal expert by any means, I have no resources describing this. What I have seen on the web indicates that this should have a hole in it and it doesn't! I've also seen reference to the fact that there are some of these that were struck in a soft metal none of which exist anymore. This one is definitely a soft metal and it surely exists. It is about the size of a U.S. Silver Dollar. Any help on this would be apreciated. I found this in a roll of large sized dollar coins , years ago, included what I know about it in a column, then put it away until now. Further research indicates that this may be a rare piece.
