2nd Token and 1st Wheatie

[cwdigger]

I help run and operate a local paintball field right outside of town and I usally cut the grass there every other friday, got there about 3:00 this afternoon and got half of it done, I tired and hot and felt like quiting, I had talked to mrs.patsy "the owner" about hunting some of the old fields that we dont play on, the last time they were played on was back in the 70's when the field first opened. I hunted around an old barn and around the field for about 2 1/2 hours and found some intresting things and my first wheatie a 1940-S yea I know whop dee doo. It got me excited,found the normal junk pull tabs and some aluminum foil a bunch of regular date pennies a quarter that has a hole in it a mexican peso dated 1993 and a whatisit? I know that it is a mountain dew token duh but I have never seen one b4. The obverse says "Taste the Sunshine" "Mountain Dew" "10c off" and the reverse says "892 10 cent off when you buy mountain dew" "at participating retailers" "not valid in coin operted machines" "Mr. Retailer redeem coin with your mountain dew " I cant read the rest it is inbetween the size of a quarter and a half dollar any idea

The famous Mountain Dew 892 token. I've been looking for one of those for years. Seriously...nice tokens. Always fun to find.

I like that token. The quarter looks to have been shot.
