Hank Aaron medals. Ever heard of these?

Being a fan of the game and especially of men like Hank Aaron, I bought three of these medals / first day covers a few months back and sat them aside. I had forgotten to post about them until now... I was wondering if anyone knew anything about them. They say "1/8 pound of precious metal," and are silver, copper, and gold plated silver.

I have absolutely no clue...

just spent 20 minutes searching the net, and only found some other guy with a similar collection asking the same think! lol

BTW.. I sent some pictures to some guy that was selling similar stamp/coin memorabilia... hopefully he will respond

Very nice. I am also a fan of the game, but my only MLB silver is a Griffey Jr round from the early 90s.

These are very cool pieces and something I'd buy if I ever tripped over them in a shop or yard sale for sure!

They've gotta have some value past metal content.

Bump. These coins are virtually nonexistent online. Anyone know anything at all about them?

Did you look on Beckett's website? I haven't been there in years, but they used to have info on oddball stuff like this.

I got a response from the guy I sent the email and pictures too..

told me that they were too new for his expertise, sent him a reply for guidance, but never heard from him again.
