Very nice Hobo Coin token.  New condition; no gouges, spots or wear.  It has "antiquing"  to bring out the design and writing.   Very detailed image of the snake woman in an upright stance with her bow in a temple.   The eagle on the back is a skeleton (not sure why 97 is inscribed below the eagle...)  The token is larger and thicker than a US quarter (see picture).  It is also heavier.  Very sharp with n
ice ridges, "reeding", around the edges.
Tokens/coins like these can have slight surface scratching, which is normal from contact with other coins when going through the machines that mint them.  Some will have very minor types of this scratching.  (Most coins do, except for very highly polished, mirror surface "proof" types of real silver and gold--this is not one of those...)  This will be hardly noticeable, only upon close inspection; I wouldn't sell one that is obviously flawed.
This token/coin has no monetary value.  It is nicely detailed with the images and printing.
US quarter is not included in the sale.  Thanks for looking.  Email with any questions,  Thanks!
