I am not one to be into the coin collection but i have came across a coin that is from 1945-1953 which is the time that Harry S. Truman the 33rd president of the United States. One the back it has a writing ABout where he was born, what he did with the nation ” Harry S. Truman Born May 8, 1884
Led the Nation At Conclusion of the World WarII Signed U.N. Charter, Sent Troops To Korea, Motto ” THE BUCK STOPS HERE” DIED DEC.26,1972

Chosen Answer:

Sounds like one of a set of coins you can buy in museum gift shops. There’s a carboard holder and a coin for each president with that kind of info on it. Base metal, cheap plating, no real value.

    It cant be from 1945-1953 if it says died 1972. Unless it could tell the future.

    It sounds like a commemorative coin on his death.
    There is a market for such coins on eBay. You may get $10 to $20 for it.

    You have a Brass Token issued by the Shell Corporation in the early 1970′s, I have 89 of them. You do not want to know its value.
