PTC could stand for Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission but that goes all the way across the state. Or maybe it didn't back then? Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Reno911 Valued Member United States 316 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 09:45 am Hi I'm from Philadelphia and it could be one of two things it could be the train the, PATCO train or the turnpike I'm not sure. However,I believe these are before my time or when I was very young, and I am 57. I have many tokens from the city for various things such as parking, wishing wells, SEPTA various ones. I was considering on them but I've decided to keep them. I've seen some people actually do collect tokens and buy them. Edited by Reno911 02/21/2023 09:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 5:49 pm Looks like its a Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Metro Token from around 1924. Values shown are less than a dollar so wont even be able to get a cheeseburger at McD's anymore. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia40395.html Edited by datadragon 02/21/2023 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
