Found this under my porch today and was wondering if anybody could help me out with what it could be? Has on the front what looks like to be a lady and on the back of the coin has a paragraph of words. Could it be colonial? Any help would be great. Thank you

Its very interesting you will need to clean it somewhat to get a proper ID.
Try just warm soapy water at first.. and a soft bristle toothbrush.
More details might be able to be seen by just wetting it.
 
it looks like a older president coin they made for campaigning i pulled a couple of these out of the dirt but im not a 100% sure
 
Probably a token of some sort, and I'm sure its identity will be revealed if you can clean up the reverse a bit more.
 
I updated the pictures and used less light. You could see more definition in the lady like image on the front. Thanks for the replys guys!
 
Definitely a presidential token from the 60's series. Pic of the president on the obverse and a paragraph about the president on the reverse. I've found several over the years. Nice find. :thumbsup:

Yup, I've found a few myself... Here's my most recent. I'll have to admit these are kinda disappointing to find because they look so good when they come out! Large Cent? Nope! Still a cool find!
