This was a floor find as my change finds have been slimming down to almost nothing. No Cash Value tokens have been around for decades or longer and are used anywhere from amusement parks, bars, to yard sales, and zoos. Summer is street fair season so I assume it came from one.
Made by Hoffman Mint, that little HM under the reverse and obverse design gives it away. They come in about 144 standard Americana designs or you can opt for a custom design. This one is a quarter size token made with a likely brass core and nickel silver plating. Nickel silver contains no silver it is just a reference to the luster and color.
The designs are T3 (18 stars, eagle on shield over branches with denticles) and T4 (No Cash Value, bookend squiggly designs with denticles) from their standard design catalog (PDF warning). Since a minimum order is 1,000 the price per token is between $0.09 to $0.19 per token depending on metal mixture. Tokens are great for businesses because they are a completed sale. Once a token is purchased by a customer the business will make a profit whether or not the token is used. If used the token gets resold, if not that is pure profit with a negligible loss if properly marked up.
Here are the stats for this token...
Type / Country: No Cash Value token / American
Year: Unknown
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Nickel Silver (Alloy 752) Plated; 70% Copper and 30% Zinc (Alloy 260) Core
Diameter: 1.000 inch Thickness: 0.062 inches Weight: 5.58 grams
Value: $0.10 in circulated Very-Fine
Obverse Writing: NO CASH VALUE HM
Reverse Writing: HM

DeleteLooking for value of a freedom eagle token with a 5 value.
ReplyDeleteWithout a picture I cannot even estimate value.
That said most are $4.00 or less.
Put it on sale for what u beleive it's worth and wait till the right buyer comes through coin collectors always give low value to the highest worth coins they love ignorance name ur price and do that if not hold on to it pass it on to ur next generation maintaining the same value u gave it and watch u will see with ur own eyes what people pay for this things
DeleteI found a token in Oak Park CA. I know there used to be a small amusement park with a rollercoaster back in the 1920-1930's. Was wondering if you might have seen one of these before. Front says "No Cash Value" with scrolls and the back has two deep ridges on the back with the letters ODO.
