1940 Ford Token...

[Blind Squirrel]

Howdy --

I went to a vacant lot in a nearby town. I'm running out of NEW sites to hunt so a 20 mile ride to swing my V3i over new ground is no problem. I dug a few wheat-cents and some silver but I thought some people might get a kick out of seeing this find. I love digging tokens, watch fobs and the like. The artwork is usually pretty cool. This is a 1940 International Good Will Tour --- United States, Mexico and Canada. In 1940 the 28 Millionth Ford Car toured north America and mad a stop at the World's Fair in New York City. It was made by Whithead & Hoag Co. Best of luck and ...

Happy Hunting!

Nice token Blind Squirrel.....

That token is so cool, the 40 Ford coup is one of my favorites second only to the 33/34 coupes. Straying off a little, I found a Pontiac "Chief of the Six's" token a couple of years ago, thought that one was cool also. HH

Treat it with mineral oil, anything organic might damage it years from now.

Thanks for the suggestion Mclucky. I'll try it first on a common wheat cent that has similar surface conditions. Thanks again. Best of luck and...

Thanks for your input 407Floyd. I usually soak copper or brass items in virgin olive oil. Will that have long-term negative effects? Best of luck and...
