Thanks for the history, Wade.
Tia, my father saved coins that were in circulation either in the U.S. (wheat pennies,
Kennedy half dollars) or in countries to which he traveled, but he wasn't an avid coin collector. I think that this bank token and other old coins in my father's coin box were acquired by my great-grandfather or other relatives.
Shafta9a, thanks for taking another look at the coin; I'm glad it doesn't look like it was cleaned.
