One was in the front of a 1821 Church and I don't know what the heck it is. And I think I have my favorite clad quarter, if there is one, a 1965 with a small hole in it. I've never seen that before.

It's a good luck token from a vending machine that you could type what you wanted. I find them in yards locally, probably from the fair grounds when an arcade tent was still an attraction. The quarter may have been on a necklace that was owned by someone who was born in 1965.

Congrats on those 2 unique digs. I dug one of those tokens that was made by what I presume was a disgruntled browns fan, to explicit to post here.

Here's one example of the many types of machines that were used to make your piece. There was no backspace, so once you had put your money in and started "typing" there was no correcting the results. Harvard Metal Typer.jpg

Truth--I guess I don't know the year, but probably mid-1920s to date.

I heard that you got them at the fair/ carnival in the 1950s and prior. It seems that some of the boys like to put naughty words on them! I found one in Philly, that I can not post here, especially nasty little saying upon it. Brings a wry smile to my face every time I think about some young fellow doing that. Nice find congrats sir.
