Herbf Posted June 23, 2014 Share #8 Posted June 23, 2014 This came from a local family yesterday. Taken June 16 from Imperial Marine on hill 53. OKINAWA JUNE 16. APRIL 1 D-DAY.

Although they are actually militaria, the numismatists buy them as currency collectibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
