The reverse however is one of the most unique designs I have ever seen. Any way to get a close up of the bottom left? Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 01/06/2009 11:03 am Bicentennial tokens on average go for the standard exonumia price of $1. I'd hold onto it since it's a unique piece. Report this Post to the Staff
SJUHawks Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 01/06/2009 11:11 am I have no intentions on selling these, I was just curious. I'll try to get a close up of the reverse tonight when I get home. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/06/2009 4:10 pm The bicentennial token is a bit different from most I see, the reverse especially. I am pretty sure it was not one of the official Mint medal but many private companies made them as well and the value on them(even the official ones) is usually pretty limited. The Masonic penny is different from the Lincoln cents you see countermarked with the compass and square symbol and it is a chapter penny, here is a thread from last month discussing them along with input from a member here that is a Mason.
