    hello

    can anyone help with this? i have I guess a coin, but I'm not sure, on one side it has george washington head, above it has the words 1st presidentU.S.A on the left it has the date 1787 and on the right 1797 at bottom it has his name, on the reverse it has this words: first in war, first in peace, first in the heart of his countrymen, served as president for eight years without pay.
    please can anyone tell me what this is? and if is worth anything?

    Sounds like a promotional token given away by companies.

    A photograph would help.

    :)

    Welcome to the neighborhood, Rita!

    It's probably a medal. There were many of them made depicting George Washington. Photos would help!

    They are worth only a few dollars. You might check Ebay. I'll guess $3 to $5.
