Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/05/2017 12:24 am Reminds me of Venus on a half shell, Sea World perchance... There were a lot of celebrations back then, don't recognize it, must have been more private, localized not a "National" event...looks more "gaming" type...quarter size? Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks spruette that's a great page to have in my info bookmarks. I don't think it's of much value if any just thought it was kinda neat and it was pretty much free. Thanks again guys.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/05/2017 2:25 pm There were more "coin like" tokens produced in 1975-1976 than you can today imagine. The vast majority, as with this example, were of base metal, usually produced as a product or business promotion, or as souvenirs. All for the bicentennial. I've never heard of anyone attempting to collect them. Report this Post to the Staff
Potbellypub Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 07/06/2017 12:32 am Thanks moxking. I remember the bicentennial fairly well. You are correct there was some kind of commemorative trinket or coin everywhere you looked. I am gathering several different ones it seems. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/06/2017 11:57 am I'll be sorting my "junk" tokens (tax, transportation, wooden nickels, etc., etc.) this fall. I have a couple pretty heavy bags to go through. It seems like every collection I've bought in the last many months has had a box or book or bag of tokens. I've pulled all the merchant or civil war, but I'm betting there are a few 76'ers in that batch. I'll let you know via PM if I find any, and I'll gladly donate them to your collection for the cost of postage (probably about $3). Report this Post to the Staff
