Truman Inaugural Coin

[Natman]

Hi all,

I went back to the old yard I visited on Saturday - they cut the grass and the mosquitos were gone! It was colder than normal and windy, so I guess the ones that didn't get killed by the mower were hiding from the colder air.

Anyway I didn't come up with much, but I did find this coin close to where the cap gun was found..at first I thought it was just a typical presidential coin that may have belonged to a set, but after checking the internet I found it was made to commemorate the inauguration of Harry Truman.

I also found a 1950-P wheat penny and a little clad..I'm planning one more trip there to see if I left anything, so I'll give an update if I find something worth mentioning.

HH,
Nat

Nat, Nice token.. It's one of a set of Presidential "fact" coins. Every 4 years, someone puts out pins or coins or games that picture the Presidents. Nice find. WTG

Bob, I'm not sure of its exact age, but I would say its from the 40's-early 50's. This web site has the exact same one with a ribbon attached that was an inaugural souvenir.

That's neat Nat. I found one of those coins last year...but it's one of Grover Cleveland. I like diggin' up the odd stuff too.
