I got this for slightly above melt at the B&M yesterday... I think it has an interesting design. It looks like the sticker was applied to a circulated coin, so I'm thinking 1950's or later. The company appears to still be in business, though I couldn't find anything on who these were given out to... enjoy!

I like it. Coins with a story are the best.
Stickers were a cheap form of local advertising. Usually seen on dollars. I've had many over the years and they always command a premium over the value of the circulated coin they are on. Often ship them back to the town they originated as locals there remember them, nostalgic I suppose.

PS: cool they are still in business. Here in NV we see a bunch with casino stickers on them. Lots of bars. The most common for me seems to be the Calico Ghost town dollars/stickers which is west of here in CA.
I had some poker chips with stickers on them.... got rid of them and stick to the chips with the silver inserts....I would hold on to any Morgan coins with stickers... Cheers, RickO
They trace history back to 1886, but Morrison Milling started May 28, 1936.
If they didn't backdate service, 25 years would be no earlier than 1961.
