motmot69 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 3:41 pm I have found two coins in the attic. I don't know if they are worth anything. They are both the size of a half dollar and are gold in color. One the coins has Abraham Lincoln on one side listed as the 16th president of the United States and on the other side has a description of his life. The other coin is John F. Kennedy coin with the same description as the Lincoln coin. Both coins are metal and the same size. I was wondering if anybody has ever seen these types of coins within the last 20 to 30 years. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 3:59 pm I had a board game that I received in the 60's as a Christmas or Birthday present that I think was called Meet the Presidents. The last President I think that was in it was LBJ. I might even have an old JPG of this on a disc when I saved images from a PC upgrade. I sold it on ebay about 8 or 9 years ago and I don't recall how much all they got. I do recall I was missing one of them, I tried to buy it but never found one. ( or I would have probably kept the game til now ). They set in a board much like a Whitman folder and there was a board game of some kind. It came in a monopoly size board game box. These sound like what you have. Welcome to the forum and please read the rules and introduce yourself here, tell us more about yourself. Hope these two pieces spark the collector interest you might have. Have fun!

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 4:08 pm OMG! Here's the game, the description is inaccurate. LBJ did not die in mid-term Kennedy did. So I think LBJ is the last one. But these are silver colored so I guess that's about the end of my input. Here's the Item number: 150318143637 and it is ending soon. I think the price is probably fair and about what I sold it for with a missing coin. They were kind of neat. Half tempted to buy it again! LOL Now I found another and it is a better deal and appears to have one less coin, this is the one I had Item number: 250349453462 the first one I mentioned might be a newer release and have Nixon in it? LATE EDIT: Now I have seen there are a number of versions of this game. Also I searched for bronze president tokens and bronze president coins and found a lot of these. Maybe thats where you might identify it too? Edited by TNG 01/03/2009 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
motmot69 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 4:43 pm I tried to upload a couple of photos but the website said the image was to large. How do I reduce it? Thanks. Tommy Report this Post to the Staff
Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 01/03/2009 4:57 pm Open it up in paint and click on image. Then click resize/skew. Reduce your horizontal and vertical in 25% increments until it will gets small enough to fit. I am not sure what size that is, someone else may be able to help you with that. And to the forum motmot69. Edited by Tim Stroud 01/03/2009 4:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

You don't have to worry about size, and you can post pictures directly into your postings. And, of course, Report this Post to the Staff
Texas collector Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 03:15 am I think I have one too! I don't know where I got it though. It has "THEODORE ROOSEVELT" across the top, 1901 under the "T" in Theodore and 1909 under the T in Roosevelt. Across the bottom reads two lines: 26TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES There is a mark over Roosevelt's left shoulder, looks like "CO" shmushed together. The reverse says: THEODORE ROOSEVELT BORN OCT. 27, 1858 YOUNGEST MAN TO BECOME PRESIDENT;ORGANIZED THE "ROUGH RIDERS";FIRST AMERICAN TO BE AWARDED NOBEL PEACE PRIZE DIED JAN. 6, 1919. It's gold/bronze in color. Edited by Texas collector 01/04/2009 03:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
