I bought some bowls of coins at a local consignment shop.
These were in them. Any idea as to ID or value?

The three on top might be?
That's why I posted the Pictures. I would like to sell this stuff but I sure don't want to give it away.
I think a few of these items might have value. |

I found a little info about the upper right hand one - the Columbus day one
1910 Christopher Columbus Columbus Day Medallion
Columbus Massachusetts Holiday Medal Medallion Charm Pendant
The picture shows a close view of both sides of this 1910 Christopher Columbus Columbus Day Medallion. There are attached red/white/blue strings. The front of the medal has a Massachusetts Emblem with Latin motto and the rest reads:
COLVMBVS DAY
MASSACHVSETTS
OCTOBER, 12. 1910
The back has a raised image of Columbus with a raised sword and cross on a beach. It also has the years "1492 - 1910". It measures 1" wide. It is in excellent uncleaned condition. I am not sure what metal it is but it looks like silver.

It's really beat to hell, bent. |

The currency token depicting the 1st. Duke of Wellington is actually a 1/2 Penny from Canada,which circulated in both Lower Canada (now Quebec) & Upper Canada (now Ontario) due to a massive shortage of Imperial British coins in circulation.
