econrad Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 12:14 pm Is there anything on the side of the medal? Report this Post to the Staff
tas New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 7:05 pm I didn't think it would be a coin because it seems so ... for lack of a better term , modern.. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 11:43 pm It's certainly a medal or token. It may be one of those heads/tails flipping 'coins'- my uncle found one in a Coinstar reject tray with a similar design, but with a bit more detail, if you catch my drift.

mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 11:58 pm looks like the guy is flipping a coin and I guess his side is tails... most likely a funny novelty item Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 11:55 am The design of the medal looks strangely incomplete The milling on the edge makes me wonder if the diameter has been reduced via metal removal. Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 12:04 pm This is a "spinner" coin. These are normally set in a bezel and when they are spun the images merge . A novelty item Report this Post to the Staff
tas New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 7:43 pm Thanks for the info guys ... I can see it being some sort of spinner. That would explain the holes in the side ... Now if we can figure out who made them and if there were sets .... Lol Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 9:25 pm Sorry to burst your bubble, but chances are it has no value. Report this Post to the Staff
retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 7:12 pm It is a spinner. See the holes in the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
tas New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 11:00 pm Lol. Was never concerned about the value or " a value" .. Just solving the mystery , to me at least ...a few of you jumped on spinner and token right away .. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/10/2016 02:11 am It's good that you're concerned more about just knowing what it is rather than what it's worth. I think nearly every experienced member here appreciates when newer members care about what they have. Report this Post to the Staff
