Need Help With An Abraham Lincoln Token

Quote:
They passed out an aluminum token with each $2 purchase or more of gasoline. Most were a little free with the tokens so it wasn't hard to get extra. Many customers threw them away or they littered peeoples cars. They were everywhere.

The quality of them is exceedingly good and they were weell made. Only about twelve were extremely conmmon and another eight were found without much effort. Most of the rest were scarce or extremely rare then and are wholly unavailable today. There were a couple of "instant winners" which could be mailed in for a free complete set in bronze and these sets are not hard to find today. Many were broken up and the singles are common in token junk boxes.

There were three distinct runs of most these so a complete set probably conmprises around 100 pieces. Thetre were cards that were issued to hold the sets and widely available but these aren't seen in pristuine condition very often. Even beat up and used ones aren't common.

The attrition onthe aluminum tokens is probably around 99.96% but still most are common relative the demand or are simply unavailable at all. I've got about 50 different but might never add another to my set. The bronze attrition rate is probably only about 50%.
