Presidential tokens?

[Garabaldi]

I found these in the same hole. One is President Teddy and the other is King Martin the First. Any idea what they are and how old they are?

They remind me of the pieces that came with the "Meet the Presidents" game of the 1950s, 60s

Thank you Bramblefind.
Hello Breezie.

I wish I could see a larger view of Bramblefinds picture post. There were several different Presidential sets and your tokens may be 50's era or from the 60's- early 70's gas station giveaway series. You can date them by the last president minted. Some have date above the head.

Yours appear to have horizontal dates to the side. The 50's set has dates above the head. This set has dates around the perimeter and I think its the gas station set. I cant remember but I have a bunch of these coins in my files.

Im starting to think this is an older set. Bramblefind may have it but I dont have any with nickel plating remaining..

Mine all appear to be brass? Since they are still in the wrappers I haven't examined them closely. Monty

Yours appear to be brass. But the dates on yours Monty appear to be in a different place than the two posted. There appears to be something horizontal on both sides of the heads, so not a match.

But thanks for posting. It shows how many different Presidential sets there are in existance. I will save your pic in my files.
