This is a bronze token I bought the other day for just $2.00. It brought back memories for me because I used to go this this store during my childhood. I have fond memories of looking at vintage Star Wars toys in the toy aisle. They always had neat ads for Halloween and Christmas too. Those ads made me want to beg mom and dad to take me there.

The token is slightly larger than a silver dollar and is made of bronze. I made a special label for it since I put it in a Coin World holder.

I'm really starting to like this Exonumia stuff. There's such a variety of items out there. Here are the pictures:

Wow, I remember going there on a daily basis with my Mother. Not that one per say but the one in the town where I grew up. Prior to and After that 1979 date.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

And now I have the song "I found a million dollar baby in a five and ten cent store...." running through my head. LOL
