      I have a feeling that the 112 has a meaning instead of a series.

      Looks like a trade token.

      American Legion Post 112 is in Ontario, California. You might ask them. I suspect they can help you with information.

      I was confused, because when I looked..there seemed to be several post 112s.
    5. fhrjr2 fhrjr2, 3 years ago
      There should be a post 112 in almost every state. Some have been consolidated in with other post and some just plain closed up because of a lack of members.

      Anybody know the significance of the 112 ?

      Probably fairly early in the organizations existence-- I'd think pre- WW2.

      Probably for use in their post bar and restaurant. Wonder how many beers you could get for the token!

      From what I have read the legion put the post number on one side and the value on the other side. Therefore this would be Post 112. I agree with scottvez that it is an early coin. You can find oodles of them for sale on eBay.
