What are these? Badges?

Badges? We dont need no stinking badges! :laughing:
But seriously, I inherited at least 500 of these... what are they for?
Why does big one (Mississippi) have hole drilled in it?
Some have threaded studs on the back. (Richmond)
Some are blank on the back (Clemson)

Mississippi looks like it was mounted on something at one time, using that center hole for a screw. Or maybe Matt Dillon visited one day and was asked to show off his prowess.

They’re too big for lapels. Even the smallest one is the size of a half dollar. Some have threaded backs (Richmond), some don’t (like the Clemson)
Cant understand the hole in the bigger ones....thinking maybe a badge to be mounted on an office door? :confused3:

I know. Was trying to get some fresh eyes on them. I don’t know where to sell them...

Perhaps they are just sales samples. When I had my custom car paint and body business, I used to get all manner of free samples--Auto floor mats, coffee mugs, ball point pens, etc. I got everything for free, except PAINT.

The companies that produced the samples made each one with the name of my company. They must have made hundreds, if not thousands of samples for many companies. Your tokens are probably from a similar collection.

I have 100 pounds of them :laughing:

They look like university medallions, used for a variety of things. Added to ceremonial maces etc.
collegiate medallions – Medalcraft Mint, Inc.
Creative Modeling and Design - Corporate and promotional coins and medals
