Thats cool DD. I've always seen the flattened penny tokens but I've never seen one made from a quarter before. Cool

I think since there is a eagle on the back of that quarter its from the 30's sometime, since thats when they started putting the eagles on the back of quarters, so I would say you got a WW11 token..that is really neat looking too.

Found a link with your Submarine. It is listed under the Miscellaneous section with very little information other than they were pressed on 1965 or later Quarters.

I'd agree on '65 or later, as the general shape of the sub looks like a nuclear sub, and not a diesel boat. Cool find!

Clad or not, how often does one come across a Machine Pressed coin? Pressed pennies are pretty much a common thing and I had never seen a pressed quarter until today, except for the ones my friends and I laid on the trains tracks.

Glad I could find a link for ya' as well.
