Please help me identify this. Token or Medal

TennesseeDave

I found this around 1975 while exploring some rocky outcroppings in East Tennessee. It appears to say Lucky Mule Race Charm on one side and the other side has a 4 leaf clover. There does seem to be other shapes on that side but too worn to identify. It looks like copper or possibly brass and is holed. Thickness is about half that of a quarter. I posted it in the Holey thread hoping someone would say what it was, but no one did. Any help would be appreciated.

A picture would help but it sounds like a privately minted good luck medallion.

Popular during the early-mid 1900s, these come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and designs.

Here's what I do.

Type in the keywords you know (in this case, "lucky mule token") followed by "image", and look at the image page google has sucked out of the web. (I have a large monitor and can scan about 50 thumbnails at a time.)

If you find what you're looking for, you get the link for the web page it originally came from, and what the item's name is.

Piece o' cake finding out about it after that.

And, lol, when I looked for a better image, one link I looked at was on ebay, and six hours later I get an e-mail from ebay if the token was worth a second look. Ebay is a worse virus than google...
