I found this token, it looks old, can anyone tell me age and worth...if any at all?
yep good thread. Date above the head is the key here, not 70s IMO. Its very similar to the 70s set but this date above the head set is most likely 50s.or early 60s. I have not been able to obtain a picture of the last president in this series but this set possibly ends with Eisenhower, although i have not seen it.These might not be so clear cut ?
Check out this old conversation concerning the dates above the figure.

your token looks like it's from one of the presidential commemorative or so-called "presidential data" series issued around 40-50 years ago. Some were given away at gas stations, others at banks, and I believe some were also used as prizes in boxes of breakfast cereal. Later, they were also sold in sets or albums in gift and hobby shops.

"I remember in the 1950s a board game called the Presidents Game.
There was a board that you would advance by spinning an arrow. You were asked a question and if you gave a correct answer you received a bronze coin like the one you found.
The edition we had was up through President Eisenhower.
It was a great game where I learned campaign slogans like "Tippicanoe and Tyler too" for , I think, William Henry Harrison. Thats the kind of information you would find on the back side of the coins.
I am still looking for a mention of the game on the net."
