It was purchased from a man who darn near completed the same goal as me - a complete set of Air Force trade tokens. He said he collected all of them except three over the course of 30 years and is &quot;punching out&quot; because his children have no interest in them. </p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/luke-afb-az-1.2699/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Please excuse the poor photo - at the time I took the picture I was deployed with only a cellphone camera and I left it in the holder because I didn&#039;t have a new one to put it in. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I find particularly interesting about this token is an obverse with the two aircraft and an ornamental reverse. The obverse allows for some clues about when it minted: the F-15 not arriving until the 70s and the F-16 in 81 or 82 (I can&#039;t remember).

This coin is large, thin, and the dies were beautifully engraved. It is also a little brighter and more colorful in hand. I haven&#039;t attributed it yet so please don&#039;t spoil it for me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
