<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 7753764, member: 88212&quot;]Not complaining just informing. Your medal could be listed as a so-called dollar without a value but generally speaking tokens have stated or assumed face values. TAMS (Tokens and Medals Society) has been gathering information on these for decades. Your preliminary research is excellent. Don&#039;t put any importance on the fact that TPGs have never been paid to slab any given token for two major reasons. Very few tokens are valued higher than the cost to slab them and condition is rarely a consideration to token collectors unless they have multiple samples to choose from which would greatly diminish the value anyway.</p><p>I personally own hundreds of thousands of tokens and would never consider slabbing any of them short of the elusive and often counterfeited BRASHER DOUBLOON. The other reason would just hurt feelings so I will tone it down and simply say that most of the average token collectors that I know or deal with on a regular basis do not respect the TPGs knowledge level as regards tokens and are ambivalent about their expertise on coins. Regarding your desire to know more about your ancestry there are a number of race based social organizations in the&nbsp; united states and Canada that you could find or join. Start looking at the GATHERING OF THE CLANS &amp; THE HIGHLAND GAMES websites then examine their courtesy links to other groups. Don&#039;t forget to examine the various IRISH units in the u s military - especially in the civil war. Good luck in your search for knowledge and those other medals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
