Hoss Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 01/15/2009 8:00 pm I am as probably green as they come.Ive had some old world coins that my father gave me years ago and never have done anything with them..Im getting older and slowing down. Its cold outside so, I thought I would dig into them and try to see what I have.I am excited about these for I think I may have some very unique and old coins .so please bare with me if I ask stupid questions and seem ignorant about coins in general.. well his one of 137 coins I have that are odd and very cool..This is US coin of some sort..maybe a sample token passed out at the mint is my guess..

Sap Moderator Australia 16830 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 02:53 am That's OK. The Mods would get bored if people didn't keep posting threads in the wrong places. As for your medal, I'm not sure - I've never seen one before (but that's not too surprising, given that I live in Australia). The Philadelphia Mint did open it's new facilities in 1969; presumably this medal commemorates this event. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/16/2009 08:51 am That is a bronze medal commemorating the opening of the new mint in Philadelphia. It is a US Mint product and it was available on the Mint website until recently, but for some reason most of the medals disappeared about a week or two ago Medals for other mints and the Dept of Treasury were also available. Yours should be either a 3" medal or a 1 5/16" medal. Edited by biokemist6 01/16/2009 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
