If it looks like the one at http://www.flickr.com/photos/petromyzon/25795724/in/set-587315/ it is a modern (relatively, anyway - post 1970) amusement machine token.

Your Eagle No Cash Value token is a Manufacturers Stock Arcade token. They were sold as is and also loaned to people who purchased custom tokens. When the tokens were delivered the MSAs were called in and any that were missing were paid for by the token purchaser. Since these are for sale in arcades around the country at 25 cents each or 5 for a dollar they are usually valued at 25 cents. siegfried schlagrule
