Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 5:08 pm Just under 35 mm in diameter, apparently made of brass. The "Futuramic" Oldsmobile advertising campaign dates to 1948. 67cOM_4Luf4 Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24992 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 5:15 pm Super sweet, Lucky Cuss! But exactly what is "Whirlaway"? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24992 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 5:44 pm Fantastic, Lucky Cuss! Or should I say "Futuramic"? What a great part of your collection. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94932 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:21 pm Very nice on that Rocket 88 medal - There was a song about it, but can't seem to remember who sang it.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
Notatzaddik Valued Member United States 81 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:33 pm Perhaps Elon Musk should adopt the phrase "Futuramic" for the Tesla? Look it even drives itself, the ultimate in easy, futuristic, driving and you never have to add gas or look at the road again (sorta). The coin though is a very good marketing gimmick I must say. Reminds me of a challenge coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 7:30 pm Great token! Brings back memories. An Olds was about the only car my grandfather ever would buy. He took me touring most of the States and Canadian Provinces in his different Oldsmobiles during the years I was growing up.
