Missouri Tax Token, Anyone know the metal content?

[renegade_7]

Found this token last weekend, had it soaking in olive oil all week. Must have zinc and perhaps nickel in it. Read between bottle cap and coin at 6 inches. It's only the third I've ever found, though I doubt they're of any value.

Good one!

The tax tokens I've found have all been aluminum, but I'm not at all sure about that one. Nice find!

Rengade, Nice find..........I found several of these several years back w/ the 5 and 10 on them, and I believe I also found one's w/ 20 or 25 on them too, someone correct me if I'm wrong. My Dad has these coins now!!! Where from Renegade, I'm from Ashland, in between Columbia and Jeff..........

Hey Renegade, I have found a few of those over here in Vermont. Mine were both aluminum.. Congrats...Lance

Very cool. I'd like to find one of those. Are you from Missouri, or was that just an odd find out of state ? I am about 70 miles west of St. Louis.

Gribnitz and nascarfan--I am located 70 miles east of Springfield Missouri and 120 miles West of St. Louis.
