Yea I researched this several times. Its definitely not identical to the Shell series nor is it from the 60's or 70's. Yes some series are VERY similar but this "date above head" series is older but I cant pin it down.. Its from the 1940's or possibly older.Mackaydon said:Similar, if not identical ones, were disbursed at Shell Gas stations in the late 60s or 70s. Some were 'instant cash winners'.
Here's a thread from a few years ago:

My camera is acting funny so all my pics are coming out very blurry. I'll describe it though, it says on top 30th President. U.S.A., right below that is "1923-1929", then you have Coolidges face, below that is his name Calvin Coolidge.
On the reverse along the top it says "Prosperity President" then you have the small writing which says "Mayor of North Hampton,Governor of Massachusetts , Vice president became president on death of Harding, stood for economy in government" below that in bigger writing is "Strike breaker and Peace maker".
