    What Kind Of Token?

    I'm thinking maybe this token is from a Circle C convenience store so I did some research but I can't find any like it and didn't find any tokens for the convenience store. I think it’s either copper or brass. It is signed under the C, looks like Doug Catt but can't tell about the last name for sure, first name is definitely Doug.
    Hopefully some one will know what this is.

    Can you post a larger picture of the Doug side? Outside daylight is best and use the highest resolution possible. Thanks.

    I will post a bigger picture ASAP, it's been raining all day so it wasn't a good day for an outside picture.

    I'm not positive and i've never seen one but i'm thinking it's a Don Carter bowling (arcade) token.

    Re: What Kind Of Token?

    I found a picture of a Don Carter arcade token, the 'C' does look the same that was the extent of similarity, however I will keep searching, maybe this is an older one they used to have.
    Thanks for the info!

    Digg could be right.

    Im surprised Richards Token Database doesnt have it but I found it listed here but no pic. http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...urs%22&ct=clnk

    Does it have a tiny RWM mint mark? (Roger Williams Mint)

    Re: What Kind Of Token?

    WOW, you guys are GOOD!! Yes, it does have the tiny RWM mint mark and thats the signature. I first thought the signature was Doug but got a better magnifying glass & looked closer and it is Don, there's some scratches right at the end of the name that made it look like Doug.
    Do you know if these are old? We don't have a place by that name in our area so guess someone carried it here.
    Thanks so much guys!!

    Re: What Kind Of Token?

    The Roger Williams Mint made tokens for 75 years until they got busted in 2006 for making counterfeit transit tokens lol. That led to the demise of RWM. http://rwmtokens.blogspot.com/
    They are now part of Tokens Direct. http://www.rogerwilliamsmint.com/

    Good follow up BigC. That (and a couple other references) is what led me to believe it was that token.
