I recently found a set of 5 Denton (Texas) bus line tokens. They were marked 275a-275e, and the tokens are dated 1937, 1940, 1944, 1945, & 1947. So, I'm trying to find out which of these is 275a, which is 275b, etc. Is anyone familiar with transit tokens? Which numbering system is being used? Also, why don't we have a forum for tokens or exonumia?
Transportation Tokens Here is one data source (I don't own it) -- "6th Edition of the Atwood-Coffee Catalogue of United States and Canadian Transportation Tokens" Available at www.vecturist.com -- this is all I know.
I saw this yesterday but couldn't access my book Here is the info 275a=1937 b=1940 c=1944 d=1945 e=1947 These are the Atwood Catalog code numbers Richard
The old catalog lists these at 50c except the last one is 35c and the first is $2. Usually 50c tokens are fairly scarce and can bring anywhere from 50c to $3 at auction but I doubt this applies to these. A $2 token can bring 2 to $8 at auction.
