Meadow Gold Coins

This is a series of promotional season schedule tokens/coins put out by Meadow Gold Dairy in Lincoln. They were issued from 1982 through 2009. The run ended after 2009 when the Lincoln plant was closed and combined production and distribution with Land O Lakes out of LeMars, IA.

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.

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, and 1993. Happen to have a spare? I have a few extras that I can use to trade if you do.
