Great finds. Are those two coins linked together? What are they?

Just hazarding a guess here, but is the "umr" a reference to University Missouri Rolla? If so, we may need to talk

They're fashioned coins, copied after 1850's Liberty gold dollars.. When new, there would have been several of them linked together as a watch fob chain.

yes, I played on the UMR golf team in 2000.. feel free to send me a private message
