Jasian1001 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 5:45 pm I have this military medal owned by Herbert Choy (look up if you don't know who he is) and I can't identify it anywhere. I think it may have been a custom made medal for him but I don't know. It would be great for my family history to know what this is. Report this Post to the Staff

You've come to a phenomenal place to share and learn. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
