THE VALUE OF AZ state Tax commission coin/token

[silverback]

I was curious as to the value of a coin or token.

On one side it has a cactus and arround the outside it says"ARIZONA STATE TAX COMMISSION" and on the oposite side it says "For Making Correct Change For Sales Tax" or something to that effect and has a "5" in the middle.

Does anyone know about how much this coin is worth?

Thanks,
SILVERBACK

Sales tax tokens were made starting in 1935 to give change for sales taxes. Coin tax tokens were issued by twelve different states and were made of different materials ie. paper, plastic and metal. Your Arizona token is made of copper and measures 7/8 inches in diameter.
By the bids being offered, you may find more value just owning the token.
