My dad gave me an assortment of coins and tokens from a friend who recently passed away. I posted 4 of the more interesting items in hopes someone could id them. 1st item is nickel sized and appears to have a date of 133?. The 2nd looks like brass,also nickel sized, and has something written in French on the front and a dog next to a speaker of some type. The 3rd is about the size of a half dollar with Green River Whiskies on front and a man standing next to a horse on reverse. The last is some kind of tax token from Missouri and is the same on both sides. Can anyone give me some info. on these items including what they were used for, age, and value? Thanks for any help.

I believe the first one is a Dutch (Netherlands) Indies coin dated 183?

Re: 4 items to ID.

Here is a response to a question on another site about the Missouri Tax receipt

Question: I have, what I think is a token from the state of Missouri. It has the imprint of the state of Missouri in the middle, with a number 1 inside the state. The words: "Missouri Sales Tax Receipt" surrounds the coin. Do you know when this token was issued, and what people did with them? I can't imagine the entire state of Missouri turning these in to Uncle Sam at tax time, as proof of tax! Thanks so much for your time.

Because cents were valuable in the Depression years of the 1930's, Some States issued sales tax tokens either in fractions of a cent or mills (1 mil=1000th of a cent). Since Sales tax would be exact and there were no fractional cents to give change, the final price of an item was rounded up and the difference paid back to the customer in sales tax tokens. These tokens could be used to pay all or part of any sales tax at the time of another purchase.

Good catch Yard Digger! :thumbsup:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search RCA Records RCA Victor
Parent company Sony Music Entertainment Founded 1901 Founder Emile Berliner Eldridge R. Johnson
Status Active Distributing label RCA/Jive Label Group RCA Victor Group RCA Label Group (UK)
Genre Various Country of origin Official Website http://www.rcarecords.com/ RCA Records (originally The Victor Talking Machine Company, then RCA Victor) is one of the flagship labels of Sony Music Entertainment. The RCA initials stand for Radio Corporation of America (later renamed RCA Corporation), which was the parent corporation from 1929[1] to 1983 and a partner from 1983 to 1986.

I remember seeing the horn and dog on the old RCA record labels back in the '60s.

Re: 4 items to ID.

BCH- ::) I posted that the Le Gramophone from RCA came out in the mid 1800's....which it did not. Yard Digger posted that RCA's parent company started in 1901....hence I was wrong on the date. I went and modified my post and removed the 1800's info...at the same time I wrote..."Good catch Yard Digger"...I know it looks funny because Yard Digger had not even posted yet. What I did not know was that when I modified my post...it also modified my quote in his post. :dontknow: :icon_scratch: :dontknow:

Kieth-Tx, I was wondering how that happened :dontknow: I'm also wondering why some post, especially this thread, are stretched across my monitor so far that I have to used the bottom scroll to read it. And too, I'm trying to figure out how to use TinyUrl and how it could be applied to TN.
Any hints will be much appreaciated. Happy Hunting All, YardDigger.

Re: 4 items to ID.

Hey Yard Digger....BCH posted that Mackaydons post screwed up the page....I have also done this in the past and now understand what he was talking about. When someone posts a link...and it is toooooo long...it widens the page and...."screws things up".

Thanks for the explaination Kieth-Tex. I think that I have TinyUrl
figured out now. But now I wonder if it is possible to repair this thread
for normal viewing for the benefit of future posts and new members
who might read it. It seems that Mackaydon could go back to where
he posted that long url, click on modify and shrink it with TinyUrl it would
straighten out this thread.
What do you or anyone else think? Yard Digger
