Although they are not coins i find it fit to include them under medals and plus they are a very interesting and mind opening to another point in history. these are my mother's grandfather's wrestling medals from the 1930's. His name was Irvin Samuels and he was part of a YMCA wrestling team in Delaware. He was a pretty good wrestler that he competed regionally and that is where he acquired the six medals. I don't know much about the silver rectangle though but he did keep some newspaper clippings, his wrestling ID, and one certificate on the side. According to my mother he actually made the US Olympic team (as a backup if one of the better wrestlers got an injury or sick). Overall very interesting history and family history for me. I found this in a box in my basement not to long ago.
