Take
a look at this historic collection of Old Transportation Tokens! This
set consists of 100 DIFFERENT pieces from all over the United States,
Coast to Coast, dating back as far as 1919! Every Token in this
set is Metallic ... brass, aluminum, bronze, steel & other composite
resistive metals that could resist the daily use and abuse of life. Each
piece has it own unique size, shape, design, etc... take a look at the
photos ... this is just a "taste" of the entire lot. For those
who do not know, "Transportation Tokens" consist of a "fare"
used on a Bus, Subway, Trolley, Train, Highway, Bridges, Boat or any other
that you could think of which moves people from one location to another.
This
professionally constructed set was put together by an old collector who
kept only the best and most unusual pieces. As
you can see, each piece was selected, organized, inserted into "windowed
coin flips", indexed and Cataloged by State of Origin, Year of Release,
Token Composition, and marked according to its Atwood Token
Catalog number - a Standard
Price guide and Reference Book ... apparently,
this is the ultimate guide to token collecting. The condition of these
pieces is Excellent. The Windowed Coin Flips allow for viewing of both
sides of each piece. What a fascinating hobby ... Coin Collectors have
recently been flocking to tokens over the past 10 Years or so ... get
in while prices for these Americana Antiques are still in reach! This
is a great start, or a super continuation of any great token collection.
A
lot of Collectors liken these to coins, in fact, they all had intrinsic
value ... one fare !!! They were "single purpose" coins, so
to speak, with real trade value. There are tokens
from Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia,
Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Tennessee,
Texas, Washington D.C., West Virginia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Delaware and maybe more ... each set is unique and slightly different.
