medallion

Expert: Bill V. - 10/31/2009

Question
Hi Bill.
I have a coin or medallion depicting Bon Scott, it is enameled on both sides.
It is hard to explain in detail, but, Side one has an image of Bon possibly on stage, a his DoB, Date he died and his full name.
Side two has an image of Bon with a beer in hand, and the words "Ride on, Bon" at the bottom.
Any ideas on where it came from, or if it is rare?
If you want a picture of it, where can I email to?
Thanks.
Dennis

Answer
Hello Dennis,

Thank you for your question.
I have seen a photo of this medallion, and it is likely a 'one off' fan creation, nothing more.
I can definitely say for certain that it was never an official release of any kind, so its collectible value is not going to be of a vast amount.

Best Regards,

Bill
