Hopalong Cassidy Luck Token Coin

[Rusty Hammer]

I have Lucky find today, a "Hopalong Cassidy Luck Token Coin".
I found it just before the batteries died in my Bounty Hunter at the park, after hunting for hours.
Does anyone know what it's worth?
I am keeping the token because it's my first one and it's Lucky
I just know it! LOL

Other info on the token that I found today.

The token was made around 1950 I guess...
The token is made of aluminum.

Hit the Bounty Hunter hard swing in one direction.
Nothing when Xing the other way...
It was about 5 inches down on it's end!
I almost did not dig it. But, it kinda bug me.

Glad I checked it out.

Gonna take an educated (by your post and photo) guess and say you've got the hunting and the posting all figured out!
Congrats and welcome!

Hello,

Thanks for the welcome everyone...

Plus the information on my Hopalong token, PBK.

That's a whole lot more fun, than a dozen zinc penny!!

What is the diameter of the Hopalong Cassidy token?

I have one that is around 29mm (1") in diameter.

I will check mine for size using mm if I can find somthing to mesure it with...
It's a little over one inch... I would say about 1 1/8.
It looked like a silver dollar in the hole. Maybe little bigger than silver dollar.
But, a lot lighter than a silver dollar...
I don't have a silver to compare it to.
But, I am smiling just like Hopalong is on the token...

Thanks,
Rusty

Love your "Hoppy" medal. Brings a smile to my face. I found one of those myself a long time ago. Can't remember what I did with it. I probably sold it along with some other tokens and medals, etc. Anyway, congrats, welcome and happy hunting.
