AcRellik · Apr 18, 2012

Here is a 1890 Indian Head Penny

Here is the ring, inside it say Nemco but no other markings

Now is where it gets crazy this is the next coin I found

I don't know what its for but crazy to clean a coin and see that on it I said !!! . The rest of my finds was $.30 clad and a Matchbox car

Not sure when the token is from, but it's possible it was pre-WW2, pre-Reich when Hitler appropriated the swastika. The swastika is actually an old Native American symbol known as 'whirling logs' and is part of the Navajo creation story of a ball of mud rolling down a hill, getting bigger as it rolled, eventually sprouting two arms and two legs and becoming the first Man.... Anyway, it's a cool token - I feel like someone else just posted the same one very recently - must have been a common design!

Awesome relics. That Indian head is in good shape - the token is pretty unique.
