Hi, I would like ask if these brass medals are accepted to be graded? Thank You.

The following 23 coins are for sale on Ebay as authentic coins from Peru, however, the Krause-Mishler catalog numbers for these coins indicate that they are exonumia, and as such, were neither solicited nor authorized by Peru: 1) PERU 20 SOLES 1996 PATTERN SILVER PROOF #alb38 361 (Ebay# 273914690286) Reverse: https://i.imgur.com/GJvUM8h.jpg Obverse: https://i.imgur.com/uuAtTvU.jpg

https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/search/4/?keywords=PERU||1996||20+Nuevos+Soles|PERU++1996+20+Nuevos+Soles These coins were stored in the vaults of a defunct mint: “In the 1990's a firm in London named the International Currency Bureau, Ltd, commonly known as ICB, attempted to win contracts to issue coins for various third world nations. They would design and strike a limited number of pattern coins for each country in hopes of winning a contract. Though many of their issues were attractive, they were unable to win any major contracts. After a few years they went bankrupt and were liquidated.” Last year, Paolo_23 asked, "Hello, they are tests that never circulated. Do you still have them?" With an embarrassment of "rare", magnificent coins readily available, how does one find the time to collect such misattributed coins? Best regards
