Hi my friends at CT, it's great to be with you today and everyday. I come across another presidential coin or token while Metal detecting. Can some of you knowledgable friends give me some info and your thoughts on this one please. Thank you all for being so kind and having patients with me.
Cool detecting find, I think this is the same token as yours on eBay, i'm sure with some searching of the google will lead you to more info. https://www.ebay.com/itm/JAMES-BUCHANAN-15TH-PRESIDENT-U-S-A-OLD-BUCK-TOKEN-CC413XXX-/333123526017
Awesome find & I think @eric6794 nailed it with his find on ebay. There are similar tokens but the obverse looks like an exact match. What does your reverse look like? Also, what were the circumstances of your MD find? type of location, etc.?
I like to go to remote forest settings and known battlesites to. The reverse has writing consisting of his achievements. I will post some pics soon. Thank you so much. I dont have anything on Ebay though.
That's a token from the Shell Oil "Presidential" series, circa late 1950s. They were gas station promos, I believe. And I think there was a card which people could put all the tokens in, though I haven't seen one. I've dug four different presidents from this series over the years, while detecting. Fun finds. Interestingly, Washington was the first one I found. Like yours, some of the ones I dug came out of the ground in pretty nice condition.
