Hey everyone! Just got back from a coin show, I was looking through a junk bin when I came across these two crematory tags. For those of you that don't know what they are, they are chained to peoples corpses before cremation so the ashes can be identified. At first I simply found them interesting and spent a few dollars on them. Now I'm just getting a strange feeling about them but still find them interesting. What would you do with them? Most people that find them metal detecting just throw them out into the ocean. Thanks!

I think it would be highly unethical to sell them on eBay! A bit different when they are sold in a junk bin because the coin seller probably didn't even give them a second's thought. I would keep them for interest's sake, or chuck them away, but not sell them.
