Coin?

[Buckmaster]

Coin guys, My Internet search revealed nothing. What is it? I found it in one of those workbenches I recently restored.

Probably something to do with the Cold War

US Military coin. Likely from 3rd Infanty that was at Aschaffenburg. Much of the U.S. Army presence in Aschaffenburg ended in 1992 with the ending of the Cold War. The dates are roughly align with that. My guess it's a comparative coin to mark the departure of the unit.

Ah. You guys beat me.

 

[Buckmaster]

Worth anything? Or should I skip it across the pond for good luck?

It’s worth something to the guy that lost it.

If not way to know who it belonged to by tracing back the bench, I'd keep it. Pretty cool piece.

The benches came from a friend whom didn’t want the contents nor the benches. His father goes to auctions in NC and drags a truckload of tools and equipment to Ohio every time he comes to visit. I gather some guy in NC is missing his coin.

Perhaps jump on that FB page and offer it up to someone there who might appreciate it?
