I sure do dream of finding one of these tokens struck by coin dies. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
trent Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 07:46 am I can't see the OP's picture at work, but I recently went through and opened a bunch of US mint sets from 1970 to current date. -1970 has separate red and blue plastic tokens with each mints name on it. There was two tokens because only one Kennedy half was in the set leaving room for 2 tokens. -In 1971, that set had two Kennedy halves and only had room for one generic us mint plastic token. -1972 was the same as 1971 with only 1 generic token. -In 1973 they did away with the tokens to make room for the Ike dollars. Eventually they switched to the stamped copper token which could be confused as a cent, not sure which year(s) though.... So from 1970 onward, I've only seen the plastic tokens in those 3 years from 1970-1972. I'm not sure about pre-1970 sets. Edited by trent 03/18/2014 07:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
