That's the answer. The center band is broken.

What is it about the reverse that looks fishy? How large is the image you are seeing. Please right click it and give us the dimension it shows.
Please try this. Right click on the image you see in this thread. What is it showing you as the dimension? Mine shows 399X. That is the coin...
Every time this coin comes up, it trashes someones thread. That's just wrong. If redwin will not stop posting it, we must stop bringing it back...
The second one looks to be plated bronze or brass. Is there an image of the other side?
They were made in large numbers using the same number. This let folks track a machine, a worker or a vendor. Fun stuff.
The reverse of that coin is really a killer design.
Alpert and Elman put out, Tokens and Metals First Edition in 1992. All black and white images but still a cool reference.
I can't really see much from the images. It's about 180X on my system.
The first one looks like a numbered slot machine token. Some of these had a plug in the hole. No clue on the second one. Nice images.
The images are a bit small but it looks like a nice coin. Looks like it would grade F to VF. I'll guess the value at about $35. Some might pay...
I'm not sure your figures are correct.
Great images everyone. I'll have to try Absolute.
$50 would be my max.
