johnnym New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 5:46 pm I live in northeast Pennsylvania, and my brother found this old Franklin coin out fishing. I cant really make out anything but Franklin on it, and I cant find a picture of it anywhere on the net. Can anyone tell me what I've got here? Thanks in advance.

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 8:42 pm It's one of those "Presidential" medals from the series given away in the 1960s by gas stations - or what's left of one, anyway. "Franklin" in this case is the first name, Franklin Pierce. Example in slightly better condition on eBay. 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
