Dodge Brothers 1916 Token?

[jimbob450]

I found this today at about 3 inches.It is 1 inch around and is
copper. One side has a 1916 Dodge car on it and the printing
says;1916 Dodge Sedan and the year 1916. The other side
has the Dodge Brothers logo with the Star of David and their
intials in the middle. IN a circle it says: Dodge Brothers,Detroit,
U.S.A.
I am sorry but no pics as my camera does not have Macro.
My question is;Is this possibly worth anything or do you
people think it might be a fake? I know it is hard to say
without seeing it but just hopeing for any info.
Thanks beforehand, Jimbob

Sounds like the Dodge Sedan 1916 piece from an "Antique Car Coin" series struck by the Franklin Mint in 1968 for a promotion of Sunoco/DX gasoline. However, the reverse of this one is different. (See photos below.)

Okay, update...

It turns out that the Franklin Mint issued their own version in sets for the collector market, substituting a non-commercial reverse. These were struck not only in aluminum (like the Sunoco/DX series), but also in bronze (like yours) and in sterling silver. There were three series/sets in all, each featuring 25 different autos.

I'm thinking its a free series giveaway coin from the 60's

fill up and get a free collectors coin. probably also had a collectors display card that you
would try to fill the slots with every coin available. it took a whole Lotta fill ups to collect them all.
