Nice win Finn!! I only have a couple of tokens that I found in a bunch of casino memorabilia my parents had collected over the years, I think this one is the best I can do.  |

Well, I think this is the best I can do. Trade tokenWith denominationTo a coin shopTo Ken Hallenbeck Coin GalleryMade of plastic (coin or token)Value greater than $1
Denomination contains cents
Denomination contains fractions of cents (sales tax tokens count)Made in Colorado - Coin or token!Token (or coin!) shows: Eagle
Mountain
Rocky Mountains specifically (bonus)Company name
Address
Phone numberMotto or slogan
Date 1983
Date 1994
"Good for -- in trade"No stated expiration date (While this is true, I won't give myself a point here as it's not denominated) Total: 5   I also have this 1935-37 tax token. While not worth as much (denomination + fraction of a cent + Colorado + no expiration date = 4 points), it seems more similar.   Somewhere around here I have a green plastic 1 mill Washington tax token, which would also be worth 4 points, but I'm not sure where it is.  |

Here is my entry: a store token celebrating the 50th anniversary of Northeast Numismatics.   Trade tokenWith denominationTo a coin shopTo Ken Hallenbeck Coin GalleryMade of plastic (coin or token)Value greater than $1Denomination contains centsDenomination contains fractions of cents (sales tax tokens count)Made in Colorado - Coin or token!Token (or coin!) shows: EagleMountainRocky Mountains specifically (bonus)Company nameAddressPhone numberMotto or sloganDate 1983Date 1994"Good for -- in trade"No stated expiration dateColors (colorized counts!) RedYellowOrangePinkBluePurpleBlackWhiteI count that as 8 points, but I may be over-reaching a bit with regard to a couple of the points (I'm counting a web address as an address and the whole coin is a brassy yellow). Please trim back my score if you disagree. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Ok, I guess that I should toss something in: Token from one of these armed forces stores in Afghanistan I think.   The image quality is not the best-it is one of these lenticular plastic things, and I didn't have natural light: Plastic cents no expiry date name of organization (AAFES) trade token colours (a bit hard to see-trust me): black white blue At the bottom I see yellow and red pixels (with my magnifying glass), but that may be pushing things. Seems like 8 points to me. Edited by oriole

Being from Missouri, I like that token! I doubt seriously if they flew that B1 through the Arch, it is against the FAA regs to fly under it, punishable by loss of license and beside which, wingspan is too great, would have to have been 100' above ground at 400mph, ahh, unlikely. Cool thought tho.
BTW, there is gray, brown and silver in that pix of St. Louis.
