Againstmywill Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I went out with my son to a local park, and he found this. It has the same thing on both sides. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Looks like a gaming arcade token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphis Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia191694.html Looks like the token has been categorized by “Numista” website....as an unclassified miscellaneous token...it has a high “rarity” index amongst numista members.

In this case I don't think rare necessarily = valuable. Lol. Also, the dimensions/weight on numista have to be off as the density would have to be nearly 4 times that of gold.

The token is nearly the same size as a US Quarter, which weighs 5.6 grams, is slightly over 24 mm diameter, and 1.75 mm thickness....maybe I’m missing something.

I botched the math (dropped a decimal along the way), should have checked it against a real coin's dimensions, like you did. It is about the density of zinc which makes sense. My apologies to both you, Raphis, and numista. Doh! Anyway, confirms a common vice precious metal was used. But precious or not, it doesn't take anything away from it being an interesting, somewhat mysterious find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
