    I dont know much about coins at all, but I found this coin in my fathers collection. On one side it has what looks like the presidential seal and above the eagles head is a circle with 13 stars. Around the entire eagle there is 50 stars. Then on the other side there is what I think is the freedom bell with 20 stars around it. I will take a picture of it later and post it. But if you can go by my description and tell me what it is that would be great.

    Hope someone pops up with a good explanation. I have no idea what that is. For one thing you know it's really recent or whoever made it was a mind reader to know that there would be 50 states someday. Odd too no date or writting of any kind.

    No mention of the size but my bet is it is about the size of a quarter dollar. I would say what you have is an arcade video game token.

    I agree with Conder. It was likely issued after my 1984 reference.
