1986 Sears 20mm bronze mini-medal, 100th Anniversary. Doesn't look like they will make it another 100 years.

@IndianGoldEagle -

I think I had a few of those Sears medals awhile back. Got them as part of a bulk lot and saved them because Sears was my go-to department store for many, many years. I'll miss them.

But, what does the token mean by "Contains Authentic Material"? Is it a reference to the medal? Or was that a Sears slogan I don't remember?

My guess and only a guess, it was 1986 which was also the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. So maybe this was made from copper taken from the restoration of the statue.

Ooh, interesting theory. Might be right! I do remember the reno work back then.

Now I have to go search Google before curiosity drives me crazy.
