Its a 'State Bank of Seattle' coin, looks to be some kind of coin that you got when you went to open a savings account. The picture attached is the reverse side that has all the details. The front has a picture of 'Chief Seattle' and says 'State Bank of Seattle'. There is no date on the front or the back of the coin so I am having a tough time trying to find this coin on the net. Can someone help? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

I can find little info on the State Bank of Seattle. But fifty cents was a fair amount of money and earlier/similar tokens have twenty five cents listed so I suspect this is much later. You said you received the token so would you share when that was? From Richards Token Database... STATE BANK OF SEATTLE Composition: Brass Shape: Round Size: 31mm Description: WE WILL ACCEPT THIS / ON DEPOSIT / FOR 50 CTS. / IF YOU OPEN A NEW SAVINGS ACCOUNT / OF $5.00 / OR MORE LEAVING IT IN THE / BANK 12 MONTHS AND / PAY 4% COMPOUND / INTEREST ON YOUR / SAVINGS / JANUARY 1ST AND JULY 1ST (CHIEF SEATTLE) TC-35319; Erickson http://tokencatalog.com/display_rec...All+Listings Found a great early picture of the bank as well.

I got it as part of a tip when I work on USAF air base funny thing someone also gave me a silver certifcate the same day! Some people dont know what they are giving away! I really struggled to find this on the net anywhere. Cool picture of the bank though. Thanks, Vicky Edited by vicky85 06/24/2012 06:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
