bonham3 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 12/02/2007 1:02 pm Hi ! Would anyone have any info on this subject. Seems to have been gold plated at one time, but it has mostly worn off. All I know is it is at least 45-50 yrs. old (min.) most likely older. Image: taftobv.jpg 18.73 KB Image: taftrev.jpg 21.76 KBThank's Report this Post to the Staff

Yours is probably from the 50's or 60's. You can check out mine on my omnicoin site at http://www.omnicoin.com/?collection=echizento Report this Post to the Staff
bonham3 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 12/02/2007 8:02 pm Thank's Echi that time period seems correct. seeing as I did not start getting gas until 1972 (no, not that kind:) just a normal 4 or 5 dollar token today ? Report this Post to the Staff

They were a free gift with that issue of the magazine. I posted the same query a while back and have since discovered similar coins both loose and in the sets. The sets were priced from .50 to 1.25 today when I was in the shop. Report this Post to the Staff

arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 12/05/2007 9:43 pm Correction, the sets were not from Time Life Magazine but the Reader's Digest. I bought them today but will be giving them away as part of my secret Santa gift. Here are some quick scans before they're mailed out though. Reverse is the same for both sets Report this Post to the Staff
