Huge token

esquire7oz · Oct 11, 2015

Found this token in a friends yard today. Also found my 2nd $1 bill just sitting there in the middle of the yard. A pile of clad, one wheat and one '57 dime.
Pretty sure the Philco, radio, token is brass. Not worth much so I think I'll try to shine it up for display.
It is 2.75" and weights 5.3oz.

Over the years I've come to love finding old tokens. I love researching the history of them. Grats on finding one so large, and the silver is always a welcome sight.

That is a really cool token. Especially with a name everyone knows. Nice job!

Wow that's cool. I wonder if it could be a coaster. Congrats on the find.

Thanks everybody. I'm still trying to find out who got them, guessing it came with a new radio or maybe just employees, and how many were made.

Great find. Spent my first 6 working years working for Philco in Lansdale, but have lived a long way from there ever since. Can I trade you equal weights of Chucky Cheese tokens for your Philco token? Haha.

WoW man! Can you still hear? Cause I'm sure that blew your ears off! hahahaha

Don't need any more Chucky Cheese tokens. Haha, pretty cool that you worked there.

It was loud, and only 2" deep. I think I blinked every time I passed the coil over it, like somebody shooting a nail gun when your not expecting it.
