Coca-Cola 5 Cents Token Real Or Not?

[Sooper Dave]

I found this Coca-Cola 5 Cents Token a couple of days ago. This token was down about 8" and had a thick green patina on it. It came from an old home site that has been gone for a long time and I have dug a few old coins from the late 1800's to early 1900's. I had never seen a token like it and wanted to get some more info. I have not been able to find another one like it on the internet. I sent an email to the President of the Coca-Cola Collectables Club. He emailed me back and said it was a "fantasy" token meant to look old and probably made in the late 60's to early 70's. I really don't think this is a spoof token made to look old, it has the characteristics of an old "good for" token to me. So I wanted to see if any of the experts here could shed some more light on this token. Thanks, David

Hey thanks everyone! I was sent a link to photos of different tokens and was told I could find it in this book Petretti's Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide and it would be under fantasy tokens. I keep seeing the same tokens made by L.A. Stamp that are the fantasy tokens. I have still not found a token that matches mine. Here is the link

And here are some photos of the ones I keep finding.

Nice token for sure, it looks right for being in the ground for many years, nice add to any collection.

I think it's real and not a fantasy one. Heck you found this at an old site, it shows the right patina, and you found it deep in the ground. Hopefully you'll get a real expert on here to verify it though. Great find. - Chuck

Yea when you get something verified you should go to more then one person because one of them might not know nothing lol. You're welcome I am as curious as you about the coke token.
