Ha Ha, I was going to post some pics of some coins I bought and label the thread "New Aquisitions" as well.

That second one you got there is kind of pretty cool with what looks like a bay in the background maybe. Its neat when this type of stuff can hold history to it. Like the '43 '44 and '45 war pennies being made of steel and bullet casings and all that.

Do medals have obverse and reverse sides, or is the definition of a 'medal' or 'token' is having only one side? I really know nothing about either medals or tokens.

Actually,these medals are kind of bland on the reverse,as they both have an inscription in spanish and the dates....

Other medals Ive seen have images on both sides while some are blank..

I personally prefer to have images on both sides,but when your trying to keep your price range under 20.00 dollars,you cant be too choosey
