I know what it is, I just don't know anything else about it. I can find these on ebay, and the numista site assigned it a rarity score of 88 so kinda neat that I'm still pulling cool stufffrom my first permission but does anyone know any back story or even an era? It's light like zinc or aluminum, best guess is zinc because it's starting to corrode on one side and the corrosion looks like that of a stinkin' lincoln.

Those were put out in conjunction with Look magazine.

Found it here on the forum:

That's cool! When I first saw my token, all I could see was the word LOOK, and I thought, "Oh great, it's not even a coin; it's a gag coin like one of those fifty dollar bills that look like a folded up fifty but when you unfold it, it tricks you into thinking about Jesus for a second"
