They say if you look hard enough you’ll see anything lol

I’ve been soaking this token in peroxide and salt for two days. I think I can make out a man with a beard on the obverse and some writing running along the outside of the reverse. Any one seen this before?

Looks like a presidential token, maybe Hoover?

It does have that style of reverse where there are little words in the middle with big words going all around. It just looks like the obverse has a black man with the woolly beard to me lol. I’m going to take a better look at the reverse and let you know. Thanks pa-dirt.

Neat find but the immage on yours Truth is facing opposite the Hoover one.

Looked again and the immage does look like a black man with a beard. Maybe a Booker T Washington medallion?

Thank you everyone that got my mind moving a solved the unknown token. This officially makes my 2nd Presidential token found. The first one was a FDR Presidential 3rd term token which of course made me buy, being from New Orleans and my hero, a Andrew Jackson Token for over $230. I didn’t even know they had Presidential tokens. The hobby is sick and exciting.

I found a similar Abe Lincoln one this month. I thought it was just a Shell Oil token at the time, but, it's different. I Only found one other online that matches exactly, but, sadly there wasn't any info posted with it.
