    I forget what it was called, so I figure I will ask the experts...

    It was about 35-40mm, I believe bi-metal with a brass or gold tone center, had multiple currency denominations on the reverse. It is a token.

    Anyone know?

    I couldn't get in the Academy. I'm too old.

    That could be anything from car wash tokens to casino chips to EUROS.

    Something tells me that is not it. What was the subject of the token.

    Here is what the reverse would look like, I believe it is from either the late 1800's or early 1900's. The reverse has a bunch of different currency types around the smaller circles.

    (I don't think it says euro if it is from that time period btw :smuggrin:)

    Here is what I found on it:

    "3087. 835 Bickford Dollar - Currency PATTERN, 1897. A privately issued coinage pattern, the idea approved by the US Mint. "Combination coin... Good in all Nations, etc"; values of dollar in different countries. Interesting pattern piece which should probably be listed in the Red Book. Bi-metal AL/BR, F/VF, nice.

    $100.00-200.00+"

    Here is an Ebay listing for one
    Aluminum and Brass
    http://stores.ebay.com/coins-tokens-medals

    From what I have seen it is very rare.
