Anyone know anything about this token? Report this Post to the Staff

Similar pieces have been given out by state tourism boards to encourage folks to visit. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

Before State Quarters , most were about the size of quarters Edited by Circus 04/01/2014 05:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
