✅ SOLVED Any idea on this copper disc?

[cudamark]

It read read 90-1 on my Equinox 900, which is a hair over a typical clad quarter. I found it in an area where I have found old items before, but, not often. It wasn't terribly deep, but, it was in hard packed dirt. Took a pick to break it out. Completely blank on the other side.

I think its some kind of 50 cent vending/amusement token?

M.N.Co. is listed without the 50 in the appendix;

https://ia902905.us.archive.org/12/items/tamsjournal1432toke/tamsjournal1432toke.pdf

''The tokens in this section are believed to beamusement tokens, but there is no indication as such on the tokens. The vast majority are from theMidwest, especially the Minneapolis-St. Paul area,and were used to operate pinball machines, slotmachines, or were beer checks.''

Thanks, but, the description in the listing section doesn't match this piece. They could have made several different ones though I suppose.

That seems to be the closest that I can find too. Just missing the H.S. I found it in the TokenCatalog.com listings. No firm description of what it was used for, but, one listing for a $1.00 Mills Novelty Co. token says it was likely used for a slot machine back in the 1930's.

I just found an exact match to mine. It's listed with 3 other Mills Novelty Co. tokens on Ebay. No indication as to age or usage though. I suspect just a vending/gambling token....probably 1930's to WW2, but, that's just a guess.
