Hi, I found this coin sitting on the ground and have no clue how much it is worth if I were to sell it. Could any of the coin experts here give me some info? Sorry about the bad photo quality, at the top of the coin on the front it says "Remember the Alamo 1836" and on the back it says "The Alamo Siege and Battle February 23 - March 6, 1836".

I have seenothers of this token/medal on ebay, including a buy now price of $15.00. I think your token is brass too.

What you have is not a coin per say ... that is it was not issued by any government mint with denomination as legal tender.

As suggested above ... this is a souvenir medal issued by a private company to celebrate the specific event noted on the medal.

Some medals are collectable and worthy of a premium ... others are not depending on supply and demand.

If you truly want to estimate it's value then search ebay for completed auctions of the same issue.

As been said it is a souvenir token, one of a number of styles. Depending on whether it is sold by the attraction it self or one of the surrounding gift shops. As with all the items on ebay. The price is all over the map for this kind of item. Mostly based on what somebody is will to pay. They can be found in the bargain treasure bins at the LCS or one like it.
