The Beatles Coin, Well The Beatles Token

I’ve had this for ages and just rediscovered it. A beautiful brass token of the Fab 4. @Randy Abercrombie I know you want to see and have this.

Why don’t I have one of those?!!?!?!!

 

How did I know you wanted one? I wish I could remember more about it but I’ve had it well over 30 years. In the photo their noses are darker than in hand as it’s shadows from the light.

 

Your token must be a counterfiet. The beatles were rock and roll not RAP.

 

Haha, good one but RAP stands for the designer of this token. His name is Ralph A Perry. I believe he’s from Washington State.

 

Yeah I know Collect. I was just trying to make funny. LOL

 

Dave…… Are you gonna make me bid?

 

Oh you definitely made me laugh.

 

Afraid not Randy. I like this token a lot so it’s not for sale and not up for auction. Lol

 

I bought two of these medallions in 1964 by mail:


The Beatles 1964 US Tour Medallion
Brass, 30 mm, 10.35 gm

These items were advertised in magazines at the time.
They were supposedly manufactured by a Robert A. Perry.

Obverse:
Faces of the four Beatles
THE FOUR BEATLES
JOHN PAUL RINGO GEORGE (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison)
(Copyright) NEMS
(N.E.M.S was Beatles manager Brian Epstein's North End Music Stores in Liverpool)

Reverse:
American flag and wreath
COMMEMORATING THE 1964 BEATLES VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES
RAP (Robert A. Perry initials)

 

Alright Dave…. When does the bidding start?

 

Probably after my death.

Thanks @ddddd …. That was too easy. I now have one on the way….. But I would rather have Dave’s….

 

Sounds like I need to increase my security. Lol

 

This is the second time I had to buy a coin because of your posts. Where can I send the bill?
