Mesa Arizona 21mm

 

Can Anyone help me Identify this one?
I can't find any info.
Thanks!

 

Well your holed tokens are Slot machine tokens from the 1890's to the 40's Hole wouldn't pay out if replayed in mints or candy. With the vending component it was considered aillegal gaming machine. yours have the common phrases on them.
The amusement token has a generic no cash value on one side. the Zodiac outer ring would be generic with only the center name changing from buyer to buyer with the name of the biz. Try the tokencatalog.com for the state of Idaho then cities near where you got the box from and then to surrounding cities. You may get lucky and find out a little more

 

Thanks! @Circus
I dug the Zodiac Token out of the ground, metal detecting.the city had knocked down a bunch of buildings. My Father grew up in the area, he said that there used to be an arcade and some pool halls in the buildings when he was a kid.

 

TrueView for the Sutler. R-9, 1-4 known. There are at least two, because this is notthe one pictured in the latest guide. Freshly holdered by PCGS - was in a VF30 NGC holder, got the bump to VF35 by the folks in sunny California!

 

Wow you guys have some great stuff. Fun to see. I just got this one today. The patina is amazing...

 

See, I think THIS is cool. The historical significance alone is worth the price of admission. I love it!

 

Been looking for a few.Havnt found any that look like that!!

 

Ignoring submission fees and insurance - that one must have set you back!

 

I was actually quite lucky. Got a very good price on the token and with the grade upgrade, I'm in a good position on it. But this one is a keeper for me.

 

Thanks to jwt708 who steered me on to these, I have a token from my army days at Fort Bliss El Paso Texas. This one represents the time I was there. A Nike Hercules Missile. I also bought another 5c with just a propeller on it. I guess it must be an older version.

 

How about some exonumia literature. I love junky coin shops that sell stuff cheap. $10 for the pair!

 

Can't beat that with a stick and spoon!

 

I haven't seen yarm post in awhile. Everything he buys is the top of the line. Almost all his collection is European medals and some thalers. How he keeps finding them is amazing in itself.

 

crack that baby open man, show me a few examples...
