    Hi I am looking for your help to identify my coin. Both sides of the coin are identical and it has 29 stars around the eagle. There is no description of any sort or date on the coin. Can you please identify what it is and date. Thanks for your help

    My guess is it's a counter token and was most likely available when the US had 29 States. Just guessing. Maybe someone else will chime in with more information. :thumb:

    Ok then it is 100% the famous Stars and Eagle Golden Circle token coin, circa 1953 from Madison.

    It's an arcade token, contemporary, still available from tokensdirect.com. It also looks like it's been through the dryer a few times. Sorry, Zebra, it has no value whatsoever.

    My girlfriend found a silver one of these coins on the floor as she was walking, does anybody know if they are worth anything now or ever will be?
