ame5057 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 5:09 pm We recently purchased a token and I have had no luck finding any information about it. The only clues I found was from this book: https://books.google.com/books?id=m...I9EoXyOunSVw This is one of the first times I've ever not been able to find a single picture of a token we've bought. Any information or direction about it would be greatly appreciated! Weight: 10.8g 41mm dia Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 10:45 pm It's so weird how your token/medal's font/text is all over the place to some limited extent. The wording is all misplaced (in regard to the letters). Notice the dropped "D" in the date. Report this Post to the Staff
valleyco Valued Member 109 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 11:03 pm It looks silver but I have a hard time believing a 41mm silver medal would weigh only 10.8 grams. What is the medal made from? Report this Post to the Staff

ame5057 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 09:53 am Thank you all so much for your input, all of this information is extremely helpful! It is definitely not silver, but a white metal. It feels way too light. Report this Post to the Staff
