Marve65 Pillar of the Community United States 5469 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 12:43 am Looks like rust on it - some random kind of steel token Is it the same thickness as a nickel? Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18204 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 01:18 am It looks like an arcade token. It's certainly not a coin. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16269 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 03:52 am I believe the symbol on both sides is an ornate letter S with an arrow going diagonally through it. The swirly background pattern is very commonly seen on transit tokens and other tokens from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
SoupBone New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 05:42 am Did a little digging this morning, and found it. It is considered a Love Token S with an Arrow through it. Google says it might be from the Victoria Era from 1837-1901. Thank you all for input made it easier to look up. If anyone has any more details please share. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 32941 Posts	Posted 02/13/2025 06:42 am OK interesting--thx for following up with us. @hon, are there many nickel-sized arcade tokens? I'm mostly familiar with quarter-sized ones, but am not super-familiar with this field. Thx.
