Atari token

[Jblack]

I found this today, I need help finding alittle about it. I have only found one picture of a similar token on Google. Does anyone know anything about this token? A round about value maybe?

Kappen's CA Tokens Supplement lists this as being from Sunnyvale (catalog #66), but that attribution appears to me to be based on the fact that the Atari Company was headquartered there. These tokens were likely used in numerous arcades all across the country that used Atari equipment. See https://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/the-history-of-games-in-sunnyvale/

Arcade tokens were widely used from the late 1970s to the present and most have a pretty low collector value, say a buck or so.

I don't know if I agree. It says Atari Expo. Could it be from some type of gaming event? Maybe an expo that showed off their new games? Might want to do some more research. Could be valuable to a gamer.
