I WON THIS COIN DURING ONE OF THE OLYMPIC EVENTS SOME YEARS AGO.I THINK IT WAS A CEREAL CONTEST,THE PRIZES WERE 1ST  1OZ GOLD COIN 2ND 1OZ SILVER COIN 3RD 1OZ BRONZE COIN.I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT ANY INFORMATION ON THIS AND SNOOPY COLLECTORS WON'T EVEN ADMIT IT EXIST.ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME ON WHERE TO LOOK ETC WOULD HELP .THANK YOU JOHN PURDY

Answer
I don't know anything about this either.  My guess is that it is worth the silver in it, but don't know.  It could be wanted by Peanuts fanatics.  Anyway, try going to www.ebay.com and see if anyone is selling a similar piece.  Try a search for silver Snoopy Woodstock or coin Snoopy Woodstock or token Snoopy Woodstock or some combination.  If that fails, go to www.google.com and try similar searches.  Good luck, Jim Lawniczak
