This is a series of promotional season schedule tokens/coins put out by Meadow Gold
Dairy in Lincoln. They were issued from 1982 through the present. Please contact
me if you have any more information.
The coins
measure 1-1/2" wide with a knurled edge similar to a new quarter.
They appear to be made of aluminum, so are extremely light weight. Each
one features a face design based on the Meadow Gold logo and the
Nebraska Cornhuskers. The back side features the schedule for the
upcoming season, hence no scores or bowl game information. The color varies by year as
well, from silver, dull pewter, red, and gold.
I'll be adding scans as I find new ones, and replacing low-quality scans with
better ones as I acquire the actual tokens, but please drop me a line if you
have better photos or more information. They may not be made of
precious metal, but they make great dated collectibles for the collection. The
scans below may look a bit dull due to scanner reflection, but all coins
actually have a good sheen to them. Click the thumbnails for larger
views. Still looking for 1987, 1990, 1993, and 1995. Happen to have a spare?
