Hflirn Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 08/29/2014 11:51 am I couldn't find much typing in 3008 trade token on the web and also looking it up on some token databases. The token with 10 cents has the same pattern on other side but at 180 degrees turn like a coin. I will continue to try and find out where these came from and if I find some useful information I will let everyone know. Report this Post to the Staff

They were specifically made so they would be hard to identify, as they were probably associated with an establishment that participated in shady activities, gaming, gambling, speak easy, etc. I had a whole pile of tokens of these types before I gave them away as a free to good home, as some collectors try to get as many different numbers as they can.

Thank you for your help and input all ranger! This one from Chicago is a saloon address I found out. Birds of a feather flock together I suppose haha! Report this Post to the Staff
