Jamestown token

[NickSwingLOW]

Dig this little guy up. I was thrilled that it wasn’t a franklin institute token. Instead it reads Jamestown Exp 1907 ...... Pocahontas. The cooler thing about this token is that it’s a squished IHP, and the date........... 1907!

I’ve only seen one of these online and it has the “one cent” on the reverse side rather than the Indian head and date.

I found one also it was a 1907 Jamestown exposition coin awarded to the Patato Machinery Co. don't have any idea the value, I guess the US Mint was there and actually minted many tokens/coins and awarded them to Companies and gave many away. Nice find!!!!!

post a picture! I think it is awesome that someone from this area made their way to the expo most likely, and came back to Jersey with this little souvenir.
