Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/10/2018 8:06 pm This came in a mixed auction lot. Looks like a ribboned medal with broken posts on top. A Washington Commemorative Revolutionary War item. It is 1 3/8" and 12.3gr. Any ideas what it is, anyone collect these? Want it? This kinda reminds me of a hard times token of the 1830's but the size/thickness is wrong. It is a contemporary something. This an attempt at sarcasm? George was beating feet out of NYC retreating from the British to save what little of the Continental army at the time...?

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/10/2018 8:25 pm It's not really a token, since no denomination is specified. More of a promotional medal that's pretty kicked around. I can't imagine Google won't get you answers. Report this Post to the Staff

I have seen this referenced with and without the loop on some others like this. You can see a little more about it here: http://numismatics.org/collection/1939.135.4 Report this Post to the Staff
