RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 09/29/2023 3:27 pm I have tried to research this coin/medal/token to no avail. I am seeking help in identifying what this is. I think it has something to do with the Social Security act of 1935, but have no idea who made it and for what purpose. The coin appears to be brass? No date on the coin. Best photo's I can get. Any information is greatly appreciated!! RK Report this Post to the Staff

The bar on the obverse allowed a person to engrave their SSN on it. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Good speculation that it might have been privately issued sometime after social security came to be. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 09/30/2023 06:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
