This one is not a coin but a token of sorts. Does anyone know anything about it, what year it was made and what its for.. any help would be great thanks.. Report this Post to the Staff

You could "collect the whole set" of presidents from Washington up to the president in office at the time (either LBJ or Nixon - I can't remember); they were probably given away in other situations too. In this old thread there's a modern set put out by Reader's Digest and another one from a similar time period to yours for president Buchanan. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 04/06/2011 12:33 pm I have seen several of these, skwca, including this type in bronze and some in cheaper-appearing aluminum. I wonder which gas station gave they away? I don't remember them at the time, but I'm guessing that they were some kind of Bicentennial-era promotion. Report this Post to the Staff
