I need help with coins...?

Question

Well I was cleaning out the house today and found this coin I remember my ex girlfriend giving me. She lives in Enon, Ohio and thats what the coin is. It says Sesquicentennial on it (1850-2000) and on the back it says the little AE sign AEnon... Because there was much water.

(John 3:23) And it shows a picture of Ohio, a star where enon is, and water coming from that star.

Can anybody help me find the price of this?

Answer 1

It is not a coin but a medal and commemorates the founding of that city. This type item sells for $1 and up depending on what it is made of and size. The most common are brass, copper or copper/nickel and are about the size of an older silver dollar about 38 mm, some are 1/2 dollar size. This type usually sells on the secondary market for a dollar or two. The year 2000 was not very long ago so age will not add to the value. The problem with the medal is finding a buyer, with on line auctions that is much easier today. Most city and town commemorative medals have little value until they reach the 100 year mark and must be of a famous place. Sorry this is not what you wanted to hear.
