As a collector you are bound to find some fakes and some pendants well here is nice example of both. Used as part of a key chain or a zipper pull this transit token fake is very popular in New York City.
Almost like a real token expect this one is slightly bigger, has a hole above the Y cutout, and a hoop is attached. |
And yes I collect MetroCards whenever possible.
Here are the stats for this fake token...
Type/Country: Y token pendant / U.S.A.
Year: (No date)
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Possibly Brass?
Diameter: 25.4 mm Weight: 4.44 grams
Value: No Value (Although it probably is sold by the hundreds at $0.05 or more per pendant)
Obverse/Reverse Writing: · GOOD FOR · ONE FARE (encircled), NYC (center)
I could not find the specific wholesaler.

ReplyDeleteMost were:
79.1% Copper, 20.5% Nickel, 0.4% Iron
That said he was not consistent and different amounts of CuNi were used but never silver.
