oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5251 Posts	Posted 08/29/2019 2:52 pm The first item is a volunteer service medal, made of, I think, 80% silver. It is common and in that condition it is worth silver value. The second item is indeed worth very little in that condition. it that is a die crack or flan crack I cannot really tell, but if so it might add some value. It seems very strange for corrosion.

It's certainly not a die crack. Maybe a cracked planchet? But it's hard to say, the resolution of the photos is too low. On the other hand, if that's the case, it's sad that the token is in such a bad condition. An example of a cracked planchet for this series of tokens: I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day. Edited by ainsivalavie 08/30/2019 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
