Tokens, tokens, tokens...

Hey folks,

Since there has been some incredible and interesting coins posted on the 'Best Coin Ever' thread, I wanted to start one for all of the great tokens you all have found over the years.

It was hard to pick my favorite, so I chose two.

Please post your tokens here for everyone to admire. :yes:

These two were found in the same yard. The larger token (just a tad bigger than a half dollar) is from the Chicago World's Fair held in 1933 and the smaller is from a Cigar lounge in business around the first years of the 1900's.

Them are 2 awesome tokens jkress, here's my favorite, I found it with my MXT with the Super 12 coil on it in a preserve, I'm going to say that it was no less than 10 inches down and it was a very faint signal. I found it March 26th 2008.

Here are the tokens I have so far. The one on the right is from the Chicago Herald & Examiner and the bottom is a bus token. How the Washington State tax token got to Wisconsin I couldn't tell you.
