Hello I have two gold colored coins that look like commemoratives of the first flag. They came from an aunt that died in 1981. They do not have a date on them at all. They have United States of America and Liberty on the front. Any info on these would be great.

These aren't coins as they have no monetary value. They're tokens or medals. I zoomed in on your pic but was unable to get a clear view of the details. Judging from their general appearance, I'd guess that these were struck by some commercial outfit and not the U.S. Mint. Their fabric suggests to me that they're of 1960-70's vintage. Tokens/medals such as these are typically sold in novelty shops near historic sites. Itemms like these often retail in the $1-$2 range at coin shows, and coin dealers are mostly reluctant to buy them.

Interesting.. the one side looks like the token in my avatar. The other side of the token in my avatar is a Gatti's pizza token though. lol
