Native Sons of the Golden West items are very popular, Native Sons of the Golden West Sept 9th Admission Day are popular items, Modified State Seals are always popular items, Octagonal California pieces are always popular items, Gold Slug size and thickness are always popular items. This qualifying size token meets all of the above categories AND would qualify for inclusion as a So Called Dollar. Very very unusual in being from San Quentin Prison on an event open to public. Event was sponsored by the San Francisco Native Sons Golden West Chapter. The background information for this Admission Day September 9, 1940 event is in the August 22,1940 newspaper. Does anyone have more specific information on this token or perhaps have an aluminum, brass, copper or gilt one? Set up by the San Quentin Athletic Association and the Olympic Club of San Francisco.,
