    Hi all,
    Flea Market purchase 11-18-17

    Picked up this neat off Center on a Post 1982 Copper Plated Zinc Cent
    You can see some of the lettering -

    Obverse - LI
    Reverse - UNI

    The seller also had this Sales Tax token from the 1930's.. he wanted $8.00 for it. I offered $10.00 for the token and the off center and he accepted ;)

    I have to clean it up to get a better idea where it is from.

    It looks like Mississippi. So, you paid about $2 for the O/C strike. Not bad!

    Did you notice the hole in the tax token is not centered?

    Wait, so are these sales tax tokens worth that much? My LCS has them in a bin for 25c a piece. They are pretty over-priced on everything so assumed they were also over-priced. I picked one out because I like the design but figured I over paid by about 24c lol.

    Most sales tax tokens are pretty cheap, but there are some varieties that are worth significant sums.

    I think you should cost them
    just the opposite -

    $2-$3 for the aluminum token,
    and the balance to the off center cent.
