Well When I got home from running errands this afternoon, My purchase of 10 pounds of tokens was here. had a great afternoon sorting them out and stacking the dupes. Will have a nice grouping of extra's to build nice starter collections sets, make some of the money back and with the ones I got that are new. I am very happy, with the deal.

Here is what 10 pounds of tokens looks like!

 

Now that's some unusual exonumia midas1! Great post. --- Bruce

 

Thanks Bruce. I've got an ashtray made from Mexican coins and a serving tray imbedded with world coins that I'll post when I find the photos.

Were used to keep the working men form spending money, at local saloons and gambling houses. They had a traveling store that wenton the road with them.


And a Ringling railroad scrip book for the advance people to use.

I hadn't either. When I saw it I knew I wanted it!

 

Obverse and reverse with the security grooves, Brunswick zone If you look in the center of the reverse there is a number or letter grouping this is the code for the location of the machine.






The slotted security tokens were used mostly in the Chicago area for telephones up to the 30's and 40's They could only be used in the phone in store that had the corresponding spaced bars in the coin slot.
These modern versions are from the RWM (Roger Williams mint)

 

For some reason I laughed at "Galaxy World" because it seems redundant. Isn't the world already in a galaxy?
Nice coins BTW!

 

Circus => wow, "sooo" cool (thanks for sharing)


:thumb:

 

Yep, but in one of the men in black movies, wasn't there a galaxy in a cat collar!

 

I have the poster too

 

I remember using those Galaxy World tokens when I was a teen at local arcades....

 

Great stuff dwhiz. I wouldn't mind having a copy of these myself. Are you a member of O.H.N.S.? --- Bruce

 

Hi Bruce I'm not a member I bought the elongated coins at the 2012 show in Philly The nickel is a dateless Buffalo and the cent is 1979 and the wooden nickel was free

 

Here is some Circus script, 1933 for the 50th founding years of Ringlings circus, it's to bad that all but one of the serial numbers match. It is also to bad that the printing quality wasn't better. But since they were short term use as long as you could make it out it was good to go.

 

Picked this up for 50 cents at a sale yesterday.
