I just found a coin that is about 2 1/2 inches in Diameter. on one side stamped 50 Years Forward With Ford 1903-1953 and on the other side the heads of Henry Ford-Edsel Ford and Henry Ford II. I think it is made of Brass.
I found this information on a past ebay sale. They had the coin listed at $19.99 (no bids) "This old coin commemorating Fifty Years Forward on the American Road was presented in 1953 to the Model "A" club of America at the Ford Motor Company".
One of my reference books lists this type of anniversary token. It is a bit outdated, as most exonumia pricing information is. The Ford 50 year anniversary token (1953) was listed in 1992 as having a value of $5. Not much, but better than any of the other major auto makers anniversary tokens ($1-$4). Some of the smaller, old auto manufacturers' tokens had higher values, ranging from $10-$20, just to give some related info.
I wonder if any more richard k own this coin?, because this makes two of us. I also have this coin/medallian that my dad and I received as a gift for helping the local nuns move back in the early 1970's . We found it in a desk drawer in an old house that they lived in . I always referred it as my Bronze medallion . It has a bit a weight to it and it is way too cool to sell for below $100.00 even with sentimental value .
