I like the cut-outs. Consider cross-posting here:

There are many collectors of any of the Worlds Fair memorabilia. There are hundreds of tokens that relate to them, although I've never seen a guide of any kind.

I would think the intersection of exonumic and WF material would have a following too.

Including in particular elongated (rolled) coins.

So-Called Dollars by Hibler & Kappen, although long in the tooth and not limited to world's fair medals, might be the best resource for evaluating such.

Nice! I have some of those also. As soon as I saw yours I started digging around in my stash because it looked so familiar. Here is one of mine.

I also have several dollar size tokens. I acquired these as part of a collection I bought out, but I have never talked with anyone else who had some of these.

Here are the dollar size tokens I have from the 62 Seattle Worlds Fair. The monorail, 30 tons of silver, and Space Needle all have the same reverse, so I just uploaded one of those. I posted the obverse and reverse of the other two tokens. It looks like the monorail one might have a die crack. Anyway, thanks for posting this. I have been meaning to get these photographed and placed in flips for a while, so your post was a good motivation!
