<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MontCollector, post: 2921006, member: 85496&quot;]I don&#039;t usually collect medals, but my wife found one in a coin shops junk bin a couple weeks ago. I wish I had known what it was when we got it because they had several other in the bin in same condition.&nbsp; They wanted $.50 a piece for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was minted by the Franklin mint for the Husky Oil Company in the late 1960s to early 1970s. It is part of a 13 medal&nbsp; set called Rugged Americans. These were handed out at Husky gas stations during this time whenever someone came in to fill up. Kinda a &quot;collect them all&quot; gimmick. They even had a display board they handed out to fill in the holes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I already have a complete Canada Coat of Arms medals(came with a lot of Canada coins that I purchased) that were minted around the same time frame for the Shell Oil company in Canada. These were handed out in a similar fashion as the one pictured below from the Husky Oil Company in the US.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is where Gas and Oil memorabilia and Coin/Medal/Token collecting intersect. Kinda cool I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well enough of the story telling...here it is[ATTACH=full]707241[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said this is 1 of 13. So now I guess I gotta catch em all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
