there is nothing on it just a baseball player in a batting stance with baseballs all around him and on the other is the eagle and it Say's no cash value. the other is a fifty year anniversary token for Packard . also on the baseball token very small looks like H H
may be the makers mark ?? not sure.
sorry for the poor pics I'm kinda new at it .

The Packard token was an advertising giveaway from dealers. Obviously it wasn't a resounding success or we would all be driving Packards instead of what we do now..

The other is a batting cage token - the "mintmark" is probably HM for Hoffman Mint. Their web page http://www.hoffmanmint.com/tokens.html has an illustration of a batting cage token on it. They are probably still in use in some places and date from the 1970s. You would buy tokens from a centralized ticket stand, then put them in a machine that would pitch a certain number of balls.

The Hoffman mint started out as Hoffman & Hoffman and used the HH mintmark at that time.
