smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2333 Posts	Posted 08/27/2022 06:25 am My Sister gave me this...said she got it at a garage sale. She doesen't remember what she paid for it...but I'm guessing just a couple of bucks cuz she didn't want anything for it. Interesting little mounded display case. The obverse has more wear...I think from trying to seat the coin in the holder whereas it was just meant to lay and stay in place when the lid was closed. I sure do love that Sis of mine : ) Hope you find it cool and Thanks for looking! smat Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/27/2022 06:56 am @smat, that is fun. Looks like it was made at the Columbia Mint and was minted in 1976. Does yours weigh 2.4 g?

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 12:38 am As it's a medal, not a coin, I'll be moving this to the exonumia subforum for you.
