Found 3 silver coins & a Franklin Institute token.

[Ed_DE]

I found 1942 merc, 1952 rosie, and a 1964 quarter at a new permission I got. I also found a vintage aluminum souvenir token of the Franklin Institute Philadelphia Pa. I think it's a vending machine token and has a profile of Benjamin Franklin on the front. Franklin Institute on the back. Also found one button.

Nice finds, it looks like someone was trying to print that message in "code" by adding all of the letter A's ! If you haven't noticed, read it without the A's in it.

Found out it is a vending machine token that someone could personalize on one side. The property owner told me got it at a fair when he was a kid .

Great finds Ed - congrats !

Here's a few photo's of the machines that made your Souvenir Token.
These machines were often seen at Fairs and Carnivals in the 1940's - 1960's era.

Here's a front pic. It's a brass flat button. Maker's mark on the back is W. Wallis Extra rich. Manufactured by Wiliam Wallis. Circa 1790 -1830's.
