Do you have a medal and want to know its value? Leave a comment/

Got this little piece in the mail with a solicitation to join the History Channel Club. It was glued to the letter which I half read before shredding.

Medalet, Medal, Medallion

Let us throw up some definitions:

1. Medalet = no value or trade, round, two-sided, less than 25mm
2. Medal = no value or trade, round, two-sided, between 25mm - 80mm
3. Medallion = no value or trade, round, two-sided, more than 80mm

Of course these are not official and exceptions to the "rules" are common. Often the term token or coin are used and while not accurate are fine as a general term. Just in case you think it ends there the terms tondo, circular relief, tablet, plaque, and plaquette all fall under the non-token/non-coin category.

This one has a die crack, common among tokens and medals it usually adds no value.

Funny thing about value. On eBay someone was selling 100 of these for $5.00 meaning each one is $0.05. Also online someone sold one for $18.00. The average sellers price is $3.00 but for an advertising medal it seems too high.

Here are the stats for this token and the coin itself...
Type/Country:History Channel Club / United States
Year:Unknown
Mintage:Unknown
Metal: Unknown
Weight: 1.80 grams
Diameter:21 millimeters
Thickness: 1/32 inch (I enjoy mixing up measurement standards)

Typical Americana designs of an eagle, union shield, Liberty bell, arrows, and leaves are on it but not with typical symbolic meaning.
