I was organizing my coin cabinet and way in the back i found a bag with a couple sacs, a cheerios cent, a few replica california gold pieces, and that token above. I put these back there about a year ago and forgot all about them. I bought the medal from the Philadelphia mint for $8 about 5 years ago when I went there for a fifth grade class trip. The medal reads: "First Transatlantic Balloon Flight" "Awarded to Double Eagle II Team" "By Act of Congress June 13, 1979" "Avation Pioneers"....all placed throughout the medal. One side depicts a hot air balloon and the other depicts what I presume to be the crew of the balloon. It's still in the mint celo wrapper and appears to be bronze. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!
