A little history:

Shell Oil US States of the Union Bronze Coins

Back in the late 1960s, the Shell Oil Company ran a massive advertising campaign using collector coins. I am not sure if they helped the oil company, but they sure helped coin collecting. Back then (not like now) you could find valuable coins in pocket change and it became popular to scour over your change!

Shell capitalized on this pastime and gave these collector coins to folks who bought their gasoline.

The front of this Alaska coin has the shape of the state and if you look closely on the right side of the state, you will see "Shell" and the bottom of the coin has "The 49th State" along the bottom front.

The reverse side includes:
• An open winged eagle at the top of the coin
• Alaska - The Great Land State
• Admitted to the Union on January 3, 1959
• Flower - Forget Me Not
• Bird - Willow Ptarmigan

* I have only a few of these coins! Check out the others!!
