Harry Truman coin/token...

[jbow]

I had a cool find today, the last one before I quit. I had found a couple of wheaties and a buffalo nickle but this token is cool. It is about the size of a quarter and has a pic of Harry on the front. On the front it say's at the top: 33rd President, U.S.A. and on the bottom it say's Harry S. Truman.
On the back it say's HARRY at the top and then in small letters, all of which I cannot yet read, "Captian of Artillary in world war I, Colonel U.S.A.R.C., U.S. Senator 1934, Vice Persident 1944, acceded to the Presidency April 12, 1945. Then below that it say's in bigger letters "He's From Missouri"

Cool huh?

Great find, WTG!!!
I love finding tokens, they' re so neat to find out about...
I'm also glad you posted it, I was looking through my tokens the other day, and knew there was something missing...
I have a few of those Presidential tokens, but I must have stuck them in a different box,,, have to look for those..
Good luck & Happy hunting~

I found one like this and was also told that a gas station/company had a promotion and these were the tokens for it. mine is not in as good of condition as yours, but when i first found mine i had just gotten my Whites XLT and I thought I hit PAY DIRT! nope, wrong, it is a neat coin though!
