DiMaggio & Monroe coin

[ghostkid]

I see that Hunt Auctions will be auctioning off several Joe DiMaggio items soon. Here's an interesting coin I've had in my collection for many years. One side of the coin pictures Joe DiMaggio in a batting pose with his facsimile signature and a notation about being inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 1955. The other side pictures a nude profile of Marilyn Monroe, along with the years 1926 & 1962. I don't know what material the coin is made of, but I'm guessing pewter. The coin is about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Anyone ever seen another one like this? Any idea what the coin is worth?

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks for the heads-up. I should have thought of searching eBay before asking...you're right...it seems the coin is fairly common and sells for cheap.
