    Hey all,
    Tonight was a good night. :) I found 100 Lire from Italy, 25 cent piece from Canada, a 1944 wheat penny, and this....
    It looks like a token of some sort. Possibly a Utah area thing?
    The only identifying mark is what appears to be the initials HM on both sides.

    Looks like a generic arcade token.

    Possibly. It is kind of light. Just bouncing them in my hands I would say roughly half the weight of the Canadian quarter.
    Note: I found it in my dads old garage (Utah). It may have been there for quite some time.

    Definitely an arcade token, but a decent-looking one.

    atom61211, does yours have the same initials on it? I'm curious if its the same designer.

    Listen to the reverse. It tells you the value of the token to a collector as well.

    That poster was a troll and has now been banned. Pay him no attention.
