<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 3067858, member: 19765&quot;]I&#039;m glad this subject came up cwtokenman.&nbsp; Most collectors think of the Shell Oil Company Presidents game that started in 1969 but even before that there were shell tokens.&nbsp; They don&#039;t weigh much at all because of the way they are made.&nbsp; This Greetings cent is a perfect example of a shell coin and how some were made.&nbsp; It just sits on top of the coin as you can see.&nbsp; The second example is from WWII, it&#039;s a brothel token, a real one!&nbsp; Think of two of those Greetings stuck together to make one coin, that&#039;s a shell token.&nbsp; My point is a Shell coin was completely different than the games Shell Oil Company used to make.&nbsp; The older guys on this forum will know exactly what I&#039;m talking about if they can remember the old days. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]770435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770436[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770437[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770439[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770444[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770446[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770448[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770450[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]770451[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
