johnjkedel Pillar of the Community United States 594 Posts	Posted 10/25/2013 12:42 pm I have had this in my 'Misc.' collection' for about 20 years and have always wondered what it is. It appears to be bronze. It is about the size of a quarter but a tiny bit smaller. It weighs 5.81 g or .205 oz. The rim is plain. Any ideas? - Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16861 Posts	Posted 10/25/2013 6:38 pm I would assume it's a generic token of some kind. Whoever buys a bunch of such tokens can make "1" mean whatever they want: 1 game, 1 cigar, 1 dollar, 1 entry through the turnstile... From the style of the number, I'd guess it was early 20th century - pre-1960s, but probably not pre-1900. 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
