Question about USMint issued metals

carl

Somewhere, probably in the 1980's, I must have purchased from the Mint some very large metals. I can't find anything is coin books about them. I showed them to a few coin dealers I know and they said "Nice. Did you make them?"" What are they?"
I have 4 of them. They are still in the original plastic wrap from the Mint, they came with 2 little plastic things to make a stand, a discription from the mint as to what was ordered, are 3" in diameter and 1/4" thick, solid bronze. Per the sheet from the Mint they were struck 5 times to bring out the detail, sandblasted, hand-buffed, laquered and hand packaged. None have an actual minted date or from which mint made them on the metal, box or piece of paper from the Mint.

Anyone know anything about them? Are they worth anything? Are they listed anywhere? Does anyone collect such things? Any suggestions what to do with them?
I hate having stuff in my collection that just sits there and I don't know anything about them.

Did a quick search on ebay.....Donna Pope
Is this it? If you go to the mint website you can still buy medals. As to their worth or how many people collect them, sorry, no clue.

Gratefull for the web site. I msut be getting old. That's the web site where I always buy stuff from the Mint. I was shocked to see those metals selling for $38. I still don't know what to do with them but now that I know they're worth something I'll probably just keep them. Thanks again for the information.
