<p>[QUOTE="Anthus, post: 1736940, member: 56035"]These are some of the oddest coins in my collection. I'm thinking these have very little metal value, and any value comes from what a collector is willing to pay. The interesting part is, some of these coins are made of plastic, and even cardboard or wood (but I only have plastic and metal ones and one wood one). The large red one is plastic, and so it the one below it, and the small orangey one that says "OPA" seems like pressed wood coated in plastic.. The other ones are metal, but seem very light.</p><p><br /></p><p>These have the same thing on both sides unless otherwise stated. The large red one (which is a little bit smaller than a quarter) is "1 mill" for the state of Missouri. The next one over says "emergency school tax on purchase of 25 cents". The one directly below it is the same type of coin, but showing the other side. I'm not sure which is obverse, or reverse in this case cause. They also appear to be different materials, but they are both from the year 1935, and from NM. EDIT: Actually, the silver colored one is "1 mill", and the copper colored one is "5 mill". I'm not so sure on where the 3rd one is from, since what you see is all it says on either side. The fourth on up top is also another New Mexico one. The one with the hole in it is from Oklahoma, and says "Sales Tax" up top. The last one is an Arizona token. It has a shield on the other side, but I didn't scan it. I may scan the reverse of it later.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]272934.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
