1934 Union Pacific Lucky Piece Coin Pullman Car

Interesting fid today.. pulled it out of the ground and it was CAKED with Dirt couldn't even really wipe it off in the field.. just saw it had a reeded edge.
honestly I thought I had a half dollar.

got it home and started cleaning it up which was no easy task had to scrape the gunk away the best I could.

Upon my friend Google I determined it is a Lucky piece coin made of Aluminum
by the Union Pacific Railroad

this thing has seen FAR more better day as it looks like a lawn mower or two has had it's way with it.. so not sure how lucky it was beyond me saving it's A$$ from further degradation :lol:

anyways thanks for looking !

That is one nice find. I have a buddy that is into railroads and he would like something like this. Good going on the find.

I’ve seen a few of those tokens found and I’ve found a couple. Those aluminum tokens take a beating in the ground. Congrats on the find.

So sad to see such a good find in such bad shape. The good news is that you've got a unique "dirt clue" find with more than one untold story, and we get to see another example of "the way it was".

I wonder if it’s actually made from the same aluminum? Very interesting for sure
