<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2382013, member: 32619&quot;]Hello! I&#039;m off work today and decided to take a couple token photos. I&#039;m not proud of any of them because I&#039;m having a hard time controlling my light and getting the colors right. Oh well. I&#039;ll come back to them later. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not really in the mood to research the base right now but Chanute AFB, located in Illinois, used to be a training base with a long legacy going back to 1917.&nbsp; In 1988 it was recommended for closure and shut it&#039;s doors in 1993. I think just about any enlisted active duty who trained there are out by now...or will be soon. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/il20b-chanute-afb-25c.4295/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>IL20b, 28mm, MW 7/70, 1000 &amp; 3/71, 1000</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/il20d-chanute-afb-5c.4296/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>IL20d, 22mm, MW 6000 total 1969 - 1972</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/il30-chanute-afb-1.4297/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>IL30, 39mm, antiqued</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/il31-chanute-afb-1.4298/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><i>IL31</i>, 39mm, antiqued, unlisted</p><p><br /></p><p>This last one is not a trade token but just some kind of token that goes along with the series. It is my opinion that who ever made it had knowledge of the previous anniversary tokens as design elements from both can be seen. I also feel the &#039;87 token is much cruder. It makes me think that by this year that Chanute was no longer on the trade token system. I feel like they should have done something with the reverse. Below is the sellers picture.</p><p><i> </i></p><p><i>[ATTACH=full]488340[/ATTACH] </i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
