TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/28/2019 6:31 pm They look similar but with subtle differences. Denticles, size of stars, second eagle looks like it has a bit less feathers. Probably the same purpose tho for both. Report this Post to the Staff

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 03/28/2019 10:07 pm Freedom tokens? Like they give token people who are "liberated" after a war? Or just to symbolize freedom of American not really anything given away more a retail item? Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 03/29/2019 04:57 am No, it's just a way of differentiating between two similar tokens of the same weight and size. Most likely use for this type of token is on-site machinery such as car wash or lockers. An independant site owner needn't go to the expense of buying his own branded tokens.

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 03/29/2019 05:37 am In the US they are sold as generic arcade machine tokens, but they can be used in any coin-op mechanism. As was stated above cheaper, and no die cost or wait time. most of the token mints have a hundred or so stock designs, which can be uniface double sided, or two different dies. some companies have slight die variations between dies I have some from one company that has 6/7 variations of the dies Edited by Circus 03/29/2019 05:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 08:23 am I suspect that these are modern, arcade gaming tokens. Report this Post to the Staff
