Hi all, was given this at a yardsale for free and I'm new to these types of large medals. Can anyone briefly explain what there for? Are they worth anything and how much should I charge on ebay? I collect coins but not these. Thanks!

This is what is termed a "challenge coin" for which there are a lot of avid collectors. Values are all over the place on the genre. As far as selling it on ebay, I'd start it out at $9.99 and let the bidding take it wherever it goes. If you do that, please let us know the results here.

You apparantly cannot sell anything on ebay that says or has the Homeland Security emblem on it according to Homeland Security. So I have a paper weight! Lol

I'd counter that what you then have is a challenge coin that's probably one of the tougher ones to obtain, regardless of how many were distributed.

Might just be the cornerstone of a new field you can pursue collecting. Between the military, law enforcement, and other government agencies, they're really quite varied and interesting.
