<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 48073, member: 2100"]I would think that it is not likely to be a silver round, but from one of many political entities (city, county, state, etc.) that issued anniversary or promotional tokens. Brass seems to be the most common metal for that type of token. These pieces were distributed at fairs, expostitions, trade shows, and conventions, in conjunction with efforts to attract business, industries, commerce, or settlers to the issueing entity. Many displayed some given value, .50 seemed to be the most common from my experience, often accompanied by an "experation date" for that value. This type of item has little collector value, and typically the grouping of 1950 to date pieces are valued at a dollar or less. This type of thing is often found in "junk" token lots on ebay, so if you wish to purchase one, you will likely have to spend considerable time viewing auctions before locating one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to the forum sosdog.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
