    I've been able to find very little info on this little token. It weighs 4.4grams and is 19-20mm. Hoping to learn when made, how many, etc... I've found ebay listings but not a whole lot more.

    I pulled this out of a coinstar reject slot today at my grocery store, it's a bit beat up but certainly the most interesting thing I've found!

    Any info about it would be appreciated. Best pics I can take with my phone til I get my camera set back up.

    Text reads 'Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790' with two stars, something C Frank in tiny letters beneath bust. Reverse is Ben Franklin Memorial Souvenir with 2 dots, and The Franklin Institute.

    I have two of these, One is Bronze and one is Aluminium. Never really bothered to look for info... So thanks for your post. These must get sold at the souvenir shops.

    It’s been my experience that they sell for less than a dollar.

    It's hard to say without pictures.

    First, welcome to the neighborhood, Kendrick!

    Like @johnmilton said, you'll have to provide photos before anyone can give you an idea of the value.
