Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had any info on this coin, or what it might be worth? The date on it is 1836-1903. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Tommy
Looks like a medal or token representing the Bliss Company, I cant quite make out the wording but wonder if it could be this one? http://members.aol.com/clampguy/hist_bl.htm
I actually used to work a bit for Bliss on a contract engineering basis twenty some years ago. They were located in Salem, Ohio, and made a wide variety of steel production/rolling mill equipment. They also had their own product line of Atlas Railroad Cars. I can not tell you if they were the main office or a division. Googling E.W. Bliss, or Bliss Salem Ohio should provide you with ample company background information. As far as value, these anniversary commemorating tokens are seldom worth more than a couple of dollars. The legend on the token "From ingot to finished product" , as well as the pictorial of the metal slab rolls, leads me to believe that your token is definitely related to the steel (metals) industry, and most likely the company that I mentioned.
