[QUOTE="bobbeth87, post: 870163, member: 18369"]Turning in coins at my credit union this morning, there was something stuck in the counting machine. I reported it and they opened it up and let me have what was there. It is 4 tokens, looks like they are made of brass, about the size of a half dollar (a little smaller), though thinner. The obverse has a portrait of a president (T Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, and Lincoln, respectively), the name of the president in bold letters across the top, and at the bottom, it has ##th President of the United States The reverse has words only summarizing a few accomplishments of each president. My computer at home got fried by a virus, so I can't post picks right now. My first thought was that these were Shell Oil Presidential Tokens from the 1970s, but I think they may have been smaller. Anyway, anyone have an idea what these are? They are pretty beat up, unfortunately, but I'm still curious. Bob[/QUOTE]
