Travis201086 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 05:51 am Every one I've looked at isn't exactly like this one and I was curious if anyone could tell me what it is, it's age and value? Or a link where I can educate myself on what I have? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 07:18 am Not at all,why would you think that? I think it was the Shell gas stations that gave a free token/medal with a full tank gas purchase,along with a folder to put them in. Check the bay.

bjherbison Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 07:24 am No, John1 is being serious. There have been promotions for gas station chains were presidential tokens were given to customers. Shell and Sunoco both did it. But the gas station tokens I've seen included the name of the company, so your token doesn't match. But your token looks recent and not contemporary to Abe's reelection. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 08:57 am Hi, I found one here. 322917987543 I have been looking for other presidential medals with the same design. A nickname and a border in the field. They all run cheap, but so far no maker. They appear to run at least to Taft as I look. "The Great Jurist" Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/18/2018 09:06 am I had a board game called "Meet the Presidents" as a kid that had the same info type reverse back in the 60's. Could be one from that set, and I think the medals remained pretty much the same with minor modifications. I do think it could be a game piece or a rather inexpensive "Shell" premium as they probably put out very similar medals. Edited by TNG 04/18/2018 09:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

It's one of some set of presidential medals, of which there are 100s and 1000s of sets. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
