I like to see the medal/badges still intact as those are!

The Morgan looks like an 1896 campaign token.

I like that Portland Oregon medal 🏅

The Norfolk is very cool, and looks to be in great shape.

That is what is known as a "Bryan Dollar," part of a satirical series of medals reflecting William Jenning Bryan's view that silver should be valued at 16 ounces to 1 ounce of silver.

I think you meant to write "16 ounces silver to 1 ounce gold".

Yes @yosclimber 16 silver to 1 gold

Cool medals! I’m going to pick up one of those Bryan Dollars sooner or later, I’ve almost bought one a few times, but never pulled the trigger and was just watching an auction for one made out of lead. I have an example of the top right medal in either copper or bronze, not sure which, here’s a picture
