Can you help me identify these baseball coins from the 60's/70's?

I have 20 of these coins that I have had since the 70's, but I don't remember where I got them. Does anyone know how they were issued and what year they are from?

Sorry about the dark scans:

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    1971 TOPPS COINS

    The 153 metal coins in this set were issued by Topps as inserts in the wax packs. They are 1 1/2" in diameter and feature a short biography of the player. Condition sensitive as they can rust, pit, scratch etc easily. Yours look pretty worn but still have some small collector value.

    What metal were these made of exactly? Didn't Pinnacle do a coin insert program of their own back in 1997, including 1/1 solid gold coins?
