Okay, here's a little bit of a team challenge for you all.
List ONE type of coin or token that depicts a president of the United States. ANY type is fine, from the most common everyday circulating coin to the rarest commemorative. Or a token you got decades ago at a gas station. BUT, you must post a PICTURE of the coin/token. If you are UNABLE to post a picture, someone must "help a brother out" and post the picture of the coin you have chosen, BEFORE any more types can be listed. No one may post two coins in a row, please. But once someone else has gone, you may then post again. Don't get too caught up in that - I'm just trying to say that the whole intent of this to see how many DIFFERENT people we can get involved in the challenge. And how many different presidential images we can find on coins and tokens. I will repost the pictures below, through the prez list.
Alright... GO.

(note: If the images do not show up correctly, you can hit CTRL-minus or CTRL-plus to see them better. You can use that to zoom in and out on any webpage, with most browsers.)

good start. what coin is that? a Kennedy half?

Yes, a Kennedy half - not even silver or a proof or anything.

45!

Sorry, had to do it.

Good one there, NH.

And does the requirement include or exclude a President that is legally qualified to hold the office? (Sorry, I couldn't resist). And does the coin have to be legal tender? Anyway..FYI if we are to assume that the list only includes Presidents that are legally qualified to hold the office, then George W. Bush would actually be number 42 and the list would actually stop there. (Yep, I can see the RC brains churning now and trying to come up with the other one....)

Alright, back to the topic (sorry). I give the OP full credit and creativity for coming up with an original idea.

Thanks. I wouldn't count Grover Cleveland twice, but that must not be the one of which you speak. I next thought one of the first few presidents may have been born in England, but that is not the case. I read that one of the presidents was "rumored" to be born in Canada, but didn't see anything about conclusive proof...

But back on topic, I hope to see all the legal tender issues, and a PLETHORA of tokens and other coin-like imagery. I have a lot in mind, from the obvious to some stuff I have stumbled across over the years, but still hope to get many others involved before I post a pic.

Franklin's

Good stuff so far. I can think of dozens more...
I have cropped and resized the pics so they show only the coin and they are 200x200. That should look nice as they start piling up.

a link to a bill clinton coin... http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cli ... 45&first=0

I don't have one!!!!

And I don't think thats Hillary! LOL

Another link with both sids of the coin.... http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cli ... ORM=IDFRIR

The president with the coolest name.





Also the last president before George H. W. Bush to be elected to the presidency after previously serving as Veep without assuming the office thru the powers granted in the 20th Amendment.

ed_vantage17 (AKA Martin K.)

Good stuff. I'm actually doing this to parallel my new "mini collection" idea. Presidential images on coins/tokens.medallions etc. I will be sharing some of mine soon, but let's get a few more submissions from some of the other thousand plus members irst.

Alright, I couldn't wait any longer. Here's the first of my submissions. Technically, it could go under 4 different presidents...

This thread shall not die. I am going to post one again later... anyone want to go first?

Franklins album-- I will post a new page in a few days

Here's mine...

JOE - I'm gonna use my own images for those, since they don't really show up well at 200x200. But since you've posted them, now I will add them at the top. It's about time someone put the most straight-forward response in this thread! Now for mine.

Oh, look... another Lincoln!

Haha! Great minds think alike.

Got a James Buchanan token in my half bag the other day. I will try to snap a pic of it for you since I see its missing.

Got JADE's medal and NH's Ike in there. AG, I really wanna see a bunch of tokens. I have some that I have accumulated over the years, and they will show up here eventually... let's see yours!

PS here's a full size pic of JADEDRAGON's medal that he linked to, including the reverse:

This little booger is smaller than a dime...
