thanks hobo, i checked out the site they have some that are like it, but not quite the same one. i thought it may be part of a set but its in its own holder so that leads me to believe its a one off series. i payed almost nothing for it but would like to find out what the deal is with it. i drives me foolish when i can't find out this stuff. so much info online and nothing on this. :?

Ok I found out a bit. Its made by the Marshal islands. It a 20 year anniversary coin with no dollar value. Its copper/nickel mix and no mintage numbers makes them hardly collectible unless your into space stuff, which I'm not. Think I paid a quarter for it so the banks not broke yet. Lol. Thanks again Hobo.

Saw the thread and saw the poto, and I was going to suggest the Marshal Islands! I've got a first man on the moon coin minted there around the same time. Looks like you beat me to it!
