I apologize for this being a little OT, but I would greatly appreciate any help identifying this token.
It is not silver and it weighs .75 ty oz's. It was made for trade at the Monatana State Fair in 1971. Couldn't find anything close on eBay.
I came across it and bought it just because I think it's kind of cool. If you know anything about it, like mintage or value, I would appreciate it. Thanks

    Most of what you want to know is on the token---date of issue and the event that it was issued for. Usually these have a value of $1 in trade at the fair since they are usually silver dollar sized. Probably has very little value since it's not silver.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    ok, it's just one of those items that i've never seen before, and since I can't find anything on the net about it, I thought I'd call on the vast knowledge that resides here.

    It wouldn't hurt to ask about this token on the coin forum since a lot of token and medal collectors have no interest in PM's and don't visit here.
