 We might need a bit more information. What color is it? How big is it? And  If you can get a photo posted there just might be someone here who recognizes it. |

This sounds like what you're referring to, no pic though.

Hi David .... Welcome to the CCF! Pics will virtually guarantee more replies and discussion. It sounds like you have a novelty token/medal of minimal value; this, assuming it's not made of silver/gold. I'm guessing it's a relatively modern issue and maybe worth a buck or two? |

Poked around a bit more... That site (Worthpoint) has five listings for these over the last few years; ebay has none among the recently-completed listings (however far back that goes). One of the images in the link above shows this token as being about 1-1/4" in diameter. ...and that's all I can come up with. Worthpoint claims it would reveal the selling price(s) if you're registered, which I am not. |

Not a token that falls under any recognized field of exonumic collecting. As such, if this token is what we are discussing, it's one that gets tossed in the poundage can without hesitation.

Granted that it's more modern and not nearly as popular as the pre- WWII Good Luck issues, I would guess that there are some collectors who would want to own this piece for $1 or $2; this, simply to add a new variety. To my recollection, I've not before seen this or any similar, modern "Good Luck" issues. |

For what it's worth (so to speak), the ebay item fioti linked to near the top of this thread went for over $20. There are no pictures remaining in that listing, but the end date and description match the Worthpoint link I posted so the pics in this thread are probably for fioto's ebay link. (I didn't notice that before.) We don't know the condition of the OP's piece, but if they're similar there's a reasonable chance someone might pay another $20 for his. Edited by Alpha2814

I once saw a circulated 1943 Lincoln Cent sell for $9 at an auction. Auction prices can get crazy. My guess at value is simply an assessment of my now fifty years of examining the stock of exonumia dealers. That said, an auction price of $20 is not surprising. |
