Piece #2

The second piece of exonumia for your guessing consideration has a...

33mm maximum dimension.

This piece has letters, but no words...

Guessing for Piece #2 will end Friday, August 10th, 2018 at 7PM Forum Time!

Given what you know about Piece #1, remember:

One piece is not round.
No two have the same composition.
There is one each from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
No two are of the same exonumic category.
Each piece costs less than $10.
None are made of paper/cardboard.


Obviously MontCollector is no longer eligible to guess, but everyone else has a clean slate!

Nice guesses already. Remember what it cannot be and notice the shortened deadline.

I won? Woohoo!

Thanks Spruett

That first medal is really nice. Can't wait to see what the other 2 choices are.

Good luck to all in the next 2 rounds.
