Default Strange Coin HELP ID!!!!

I dug this odd Coin today....seems to be solid copper..printing on bottom of rear of coin says.."GOOD LUCK WILL ACCOMPANY THE BEARER" with a swaztika on the ball under the figures hand. On front, above the "eye" it says "the all seeing eye" and below the eye it says, "guards you from evil" with differrent symbols spread out around the outer rays from the eye. HELP!!!

Default I know what the symbols mean

The swastika is a sign of life but is now connected to the nazi's. The eye is some kind of symbol I connect to the masons,I assume it is like the 1 on American paper money. Probably 1930s-. Just a guess as you do not see many swastika's on anything anymore since the end of WW2.

Hi BIGJER

Interesting piece!!

To someone who collects such novelty tokens, it has some value,based on the rarity of the design and the desire to own it, for instance, I would give you 8.50 for it !!

but someone else may give you 10.00 or five bucks,, I dont have any reference material for tokens what you might do is check closed ebay auctions and see if anything like it has been sold recently .

Rick

Sure looks Masonic to me. I'm a Freemason, but not in the Shrine. My guess would be that it's from the Shrine based on the Arab. I bet you could find one of the Shriners (one of the old timers) in your town, and maybe get some clues. Very cool find.
And I would like to up the bid to 9.00 bucks. lol.
