A little history about the Shell Oil Company - US States of the Union Bronze Coins:

Back in the late 1960s, the Shell Oil Company ran a massive advertising campaign using collector coins. I am not sure if they helped the oil company, but they sure helped coin collecting. Back then (not like now) you could find valuable coins in pocket change and it became popular to scour over your change!

Shell capitalized on this pastime and gave these collector state coins to folks who bought their gasoline!

The front of this Virginia State coin has the shape of the state and if you look closely at the bottom left of the state, you will see "Shell". It also includes the Capital City of Richmond and along the bottom of the coin reads "The 10th State."

The reverse side includes:
• An open winged eagle at the top of the coin
• Virginia - The Dominion State
• Ratified the Constitution on June 25, 1788
• Flower - Dogwood
• Bird - Cardinal

* I have only a few of these coins! Check out the others!!
