Hi Bowbender,
congrats on your find!
Do you happen to have an image of the item in question? It might help others to identify it.

H Christian:
THanks for the reply and advice.
I'm working on the picture and posting.
Probably won't happen till this evening.
I can't get too excited. It probably will end up as a Cracker Jacks prize.

I as going to ask you to post a picture, but see you're already considering that.
I think what you've got is a token from a gas company promotion. About 30 years ago one of the big companies promoted a selection of Presidential tokens to draw business into their stations. I have a set of them around in storage somewhere. The tokens were gold (or bronze) colored. Zachary Taylor was in the Black Hawk Indian wars besides the others you mentioned. Lincoln also was in the Black Hawk wars.

Hi Arfieboy:
THanks for the reply and guess as to what I have.
It looks like I was right. A Cracker Jacks prize, at best.

Here is the front and back of the Zachary Taylor coin. Can you please tell me about this coin?

We were able to post the pictures after we reduced the pixels. Hopefully there's enough detail left for someone to help tell me about the coin.
