<p>[QUOTE="Terry Proctor, post: 2259755, member: 76117"]This coin (and similar ones) was issued by the State of Oklahoma. Some were stamped for Oklahoma City, Tulsa and possibly for one other City. The ones which I understand went to Oklahoma City were the Arrows to Atoms; the ones which went to Tulsa were "Teepees to Towers".
