This is from google, remember google is your friend, they don't always tell you what you want to hear. Coro (short for Cohn & Rosenberger) was a major 20th-century American costume jewelry manufacturer (1901–1979) renowned for affordable, stylish pieces, including iconic Duette clips, Tremblers, and Jelly Bellies. Often signed "Coro," "Corocraft," or with a Pegasus logo, it utilized rhinestones, enamels, and Lucite, with higher-end pieces under the "Vendome" line.  

Marshall,   I understand your parents point of view on affordability.. Although my parents didn't struggle, they were smart with their money and my sister and I still had some great memories of the toys we had. I still have my matchbox cars from the 70s and a few of my tonka trucks as well.. As far as Action Figures, GI JOEs were not on Santa's list of Christmas presents so I settle for and was quite happy with the action figure ACTION JACKSON from Mego Toys.  Lots of different outfits and I had just as much fun with them. I still have the Action Jackson figure and all the uniforms and sets as well.. Later when my son was born he played with these and when he got a bit older we started to get some GI Joes but his favorite action figures were the ULTIMATE SOLDIER Series Action Figures. He still has many of them today as well..   My parents (father) just recently passed and my mother is in a nursing home, so my sister had to decide to sell the house and it's contents to pay for my mom's nursing home care.. I told her to sell all my childhood toys and things in order to help pay for the bills of the Nursing Home.. (Not Cheap in the Boston area)... Our son also thought it would be the best thing and he was not upset that he couldn't keep any of my toys from when I was a kid.... Anyway all my childhood toys were sold off at auction which helped a great deal in paying some of the bills.. No regrets as I still have the memories of growing up as well as all our family pictures of the holidays that I have to reminisce with....    Thanks for the great memories   Leigh     

Ha! I marvel that anyone still has toys from their childhood. Their parents must have had big homes with lots of storage. When I was stationed overseas my parents moved to Florida and got rid of everything that belonged to me. Everything.

The only item left from  fair collection of GI JOES I had, started getting them in 1966, the GI JOE Green Beret.

Thank you once again Mr. Bushido.  What direction do they go? Ken 

even if it is asbestos, if you leave it alone, don't rub it or sand it, you will be fine.   Steve

Thank you!

well if it is gold which I think it is, it is a rare medal.  Congrats on a pretty good score.  I would value yours at around ~$1200, in my humble opinion.  I have picked up good deals at shows before and the low-grade finishes are easy to mimic each other when well worn.   The back of the pin really looks gold in the pics. But even if bronze, it looks good to me. Neat medal regardless.

It was sold as a bronze but I agree, especially on the back that it does look more gold than bronze
