I was pretty excited to find these super bright NYC transit tokens recently. I'd like for them to stay bright. Should I encapsulate them ?

 

The Duenweg, Joplin and Webb City Strawberry tokens were almost definitely minted by the same maker.

Duenweg 1 tray (close MO), MO-16.



Joplin 1 tray, MO-19.



Webb City 1 tray, MO-57.

Update on my Landis Hobo Train

 

I have a pretty extensive collection all related to numismatics. In recent years I've been particularly interested in older material. Some of it's hard to find but once in awhile an interesting older example shows up.

I just picked up this 1946 token from a Steve Hayden auction. It's a good size at 38mm

Diameter?

 

A full set I believe.

Sorry I was being lazy. Libertad is 26.6 mm Dia., 6.92g wt. I believe it to be a gaming token.

 

Alurid,

That one is:
1890's Argentinean $10 Game Counter - 10 D (Fauver Eagle-1130 / Argentina-1000 kpa) with an assigned rarity factor of R8. The small star beneath Liberty.

The one I have bears a large star. It is:
1890's Argentinean $10 Game Counter - 10 D (Fauver Eagle-1137 / Argentina-1020 b) with an assigned rarity factor of R6.

His should be 26.5mm / 27mm

Z

 

It is listed in L.B. Fauver's AMERICAN COUNTERS - Part 1.

It is quite rare / difficult to find. Yours is the first I have seen.

It's a complete type set, but there are 2 more varieties of the 1 qt. and 1 other variety for the 1 tray.

Here's a list of all the know Duenweg Strawberry tokens (the underlined ones are the varieties you have):

MO-12 Duenweg, 1 qt. (far S, unaligned T)
MO-13 Duenweg, 1 qt. (far S, aligned T)
MO-14 Duenweg, 1 qt. (close S, unaligned T)
MO-15 Duenweg, 1 tray (far MO)
MO-16 Duenweg, 1 tray (close MO)
MO-17 Duenweg, 1 crate

 

Thanks for the information, it is good to know.
