DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 06/03/2017 10:18 pm I don't believe it is a telephone token. In the links below you can see there are many different tokens with the same obverese, thus this is more likely a gaming token. http://tokencatalog.com/token_recor...on_id=355940 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces42580.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces64046.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces69067.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces48556.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces70628.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces30166.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37560.html "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Domestic US sales only. Google Italian telephone tokens It is the third image. The number of grooves varied. They were also used during coin shortages, as the coins that they were valued at.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 06/04/2017 11:56 am Not a telephone token. If it's an Italian telephone token why would it say "Italy" on it. How many US tokens made for domestic consumption have "Stati Uniti d'America" on them? It says "Italy" because it is a stock token produced for a potentially global market. This and all the others I linked to in my previous reply are stock tokens manufactured in Milan Italy. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 06/04/2017 12:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
joe_77 Valued Member Italy 284 Posts	Posted 01/05/2024 03:32 am Produced by a company called "Maggi Coniature" (probably later renamed as Maggi Controls). Their website (still in business): https://www.maggicontrols.com/conte...198/lang,it/ Looks like they supplied both Italy and other countries with a ton of tokens for a myriad of applications.
