    Great looking tokens with a lot of history. Very cool!

    I've got one exactly like the one DUIGUY posted, and I've seen the variations of it,
    but never saw the ones posted by the OP - very cool, and pretty scarce, I'd presume?

    Neat. Is it that neither one is made of silver?

    The first is aluminum; the second one while metal or as they said in the day, "pot metal."

    Interesting and very nice!

    BTW What does "POP" stand for? Power of People?

    Here is the sequel piece to the first token that Stephaney posted which featured "Pop" the populist critter. Stephaney's piece was issued for the 1896 campaign. This one was issued in 1900. You will note the "Pop" makes a cameo appearance under the donkey. This piece is good deal rarer than the 1896 token.

    And here is another appearance of "The United Snakes of America." This one is also from the 1900 comaign.

    POP stood for the political party known as The Populist.

    The Populist Party had its best run in 1892 when they nominated James B. Weaver for president and James G. Field for vice president. Weaver had served in Union Army while Field had served with the Confederacy. They got 9% of the popular vote and carried four states plus one electoral vote from North Dakota for a total of 22. Here is a very cool "folk art" medalet that the Populists issued for that campaign.

    Boy, that's some really neat stuff.....

    I like that cross between the donkey and eagle on the one dime. I guess it's a 'deagle'......

    I have had these items for a number of years. I'm not sure what the market is now, but it used to be that finding these items was a lot harder to find than paying for them. The selling prices were often $100 or less.
