I picked these up yesterday at my LCS. I don't specifically collect tokens but if I see something neat or unusual I'll grab it. I haven't done much research yet so I'm mostly going on what I can see here. I thought this was interesting. 1940 General Motors of Canada promoting Buick (with a bonus of a silver Canadian dime inside it). 1959 Fairbanks, Alaska $1 trade token. This one is crown size. 1971 Chicago fire centennial token. This is crown size, and I live near Chicago so I like Chicago stuff. 1976 Winnebago County, Illinois bicentennial medal. I thought this was a cool design. 1980 Cody, Wyoming 80th anniversary. Featuring Buffalo Bill Cody. 2022 medal/token celebrating Doolittle's raid on Tokyo. This is apparently a token used inside a prison in Arkansas. 5 cents. 10 cent Arkansas prison token. 50 cents Arkansas prison token Moon landing commemorative medal.
I grew up there but don't remember any commemorations of that 100th anniversary. I see the water tower is on there, the only public building within the fire zone to survive. Not sure what the other historic buildings are (I recognize the modern ones). Cool tokens.
I like the dime too. I’ve actually got the same moon landing medal and if you’re like me, the backwards N wasn’t noticed until someone pointed it out.
I also see mine says July 20 and yours doesn't have the 20. I did a little research online. It seems there were some in different metals too. I'm not sure what mine is. It seems too heavy for aluminum but it's not silver and I'm not sure what else it would be.
