I found this in a box of World coins at a show today. It appears to be copper or copper coated. It is the exact size of a regular U.S. Presidential $1 coin. It even has a reeded edge like a coin.

Coin?, Token?, Medal?.

I've seen many tokens like that with US presidents. There must have been a series of them; don't think they are really worth much.

It reminds me of a set you would put together,every time you would get gas from a Shell gas station you would get a token of one of the presidents.

I have seen the "Shell game gas tokens", this doesn't appear to be one. I found several like this for sale on ebay right now. The strange thing is they all appear to share the same or very similar obverse design and legend, but the reverse Bio is totally different. Most are listed as being Bronze.
