Sort of token with the letters QSC Solved!

[gadigger81]

Hey everybody, I found this (token?) about 5 years ago on private property around an old home site. Just the stone rock foundation was there, of course with the owners permission. I tried to look it up but had no luck. The diameter of this thing is 1.293 If you look close to the center of what appears to be a cup. There is the number 53. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Solved it's a casino $1 chip first suggested by Nola_ken!

Looks like a popcorn bucket at the movies and a fried chicken bucket too...but probably isn't! lol.
My best guess?...I'll stick with coffee. Old coffee vending machine token.

Re: Sort of token with the letters QSC

LOL Might be fried chicken bucket! I don't know though, everybody had good suggestions but when I looked further into it, was just a dead end. I guess I'll drag it out again in a few years. There might be more info on it then. Real curious on what it was or worth if anything. You know that's the great thing about our hobby. Not as much as it's worth, but pulling a piece of history out of the ground that the world has forgot about. For us few, we have a chance to bring that history back on the front burner if you will. Doesn't matter what it is; could be a penny to civil war to revolutionary war. Any and everything between! Thanks again for all the views and comments!Luck diggin!!

What type of metal is it?

Not sure about the metal. Whats the best thing to clean it with??

If it was copper or brass, it could possibly be cleaned with a hot peroxide bath. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,357440.0.html

It's one of the two. It's not attracted by a magnet. I'll see if I can clean it some more.

Re: Sort of token with the letters QSC

Gonna change my mind because i can!

I think you're right, the top mark is a "1" which i'm guessing will make it a $1 gaming token from the Queen of Sheba Casino...or something similar.
Never visited a casino but i see on movies and tv how they keep all their tokens for the slot machines in big paper cups.

Its true.
You needed to have that big paper cup to catch all the tokens that would come ding ding ding tumbling out of the machine. Those were the days of real casinos not this modern paper printout crap. Casinos are also hotels and it could be a generic #1 in Quality, Service & Cleanliness token.
