Hi, my dad asked me to look up this coin for him and i couldn't find even a single picture of it. So I decided to find a coin forum for answers and this was the first website i found. First off he got it from an antique shop and they didn't tell him anything about it. I have 2 pictures, front and back, and on the font is George Washington's head and under reads "George Washington" along with the dates "1732" and "1932". On the back reads, "Celebrating The 200th Anniversary Of Washington's Birth, And The 50th Anniversary Of The Tarrytown National Bank & Trust Company's Service To The Community. Tarrytown, N.Y. 1932" And under the 1932 in very tiny print it says(i think) "Whitenbad - Hoad" or hoag or noad or noag. not sure heh. But that's all i know and can say about this coin. Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
hi Richard, Welcome to the forum! It isn't a coin as it has no value indicated. Most likely that is the reason it is octagonal rather than circular as to avoid misuse. The bank and Trust doesn't seem to be in existence today from a quick google, but with mergers and name changes that would not be too odd. It is listed on a Federal Reserve document from 1933, but those were tough times for banks. It would be called a medal more than a coin. It is collectible by Washington collectors or banks. I have no idea of it's value. You can do more searching as it is a nice item, congratulations. Jim
Welcome to the neighborhood! It's not a coin. It's a medal, and it was produced by Whitehead and Hoag. They produced a lot of medals during that period. Sorry! I can't help you on the value. Particularly where medals are concerned, it is hard to predict what a buyer would be willing to pay for it. GW medals still remain popular, and if more than one person (on eBay perhaps) wanted it for their collection, the price could go up. However, if there is no interest, it might only sell for a few dollars. Chris
It is a bank advertising token. 200th Anniversary of Washington's Birth and the 50th Anniversary of the Tarrytown National Bank & Trust Company Tarrytown, N.Y. 1932
