William Henry Harrison token - SOLVED

[hnieman]

Hi everyone, I've spent way too many hours reading through the posts in the forums, and am amazed with the pool of knowledge. I used to metal detect quite a bit, but just haven't found the time to do it much in recent years. I never found much but clad anyway...

To get to the point. A fried of mine dropped of a bag o' coins that he wanted me to put up on Ebay for him. It was mostly 60's and 70's coins from Germany and France with a few silver US pieces mixed in. Nothing too exciting...until I came upon this. Looks real old to me. So, can anyone help me out here? I'm looking for an ID, possible value, if I should clean it, and how(there's a bunch of oxidation material on the back).

Any help would be great!

Wow! That was fast, but I've seen that you do that alot. Do you have some kind of super-computer that you run this stuff through, or a photographic memory perhaps?

Thanks' for the warm welcome.

Photographic memory? Well, maybe... but unfortunately, I've been out of film for 40 years!

Shell did have a presidential series; however, theirs didn't have presidential bio data on the reverse. Instead, they read, "Shell's Mr. President Coin Game."
