Hi all
I have been a member for several years and never posted anything, I have recently found a bunch of coins. It appeared to be a fire pit dumping on some rural property I have. I found two 1909 LC and many 19xx-1939 Lincoln Cents. Than I found several bicentennial coins the Eisenhower dollar, half dollar and the two objects I can't seem to find any information on.
They are smooth rimed with a bronze type color.
Thank's for any help

Are the bicentennial coins the silver variety? The dollar, half and quarter were made with 40% silver if they have the S mint, and silver edge. Not all S mint mark bicentennial coins were silver though, but many were from the silver proof set that year. I will research the medal now and let you know what I find.

What does the text on them say? I can't read it on my computer screen, and can't zoom in on the photos.

Looks like a souvenir set released for the bicentennial. They were all probably mounted in a cardboard book that was burned in the pit.
