For sale, a EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND......R-9 OUT OF 10.... (BOOKS $200) AS CATALOG SUP-785c...VERY TOUGH TO FIND...OBVIOUSLY "AS FOUND" OUTER RING OF BI-METALLIC TOKEN (BUT THIS HAS THE INFO YOU WANT TO SEE) "good for" style trade token used as "(GOOD FOR 25C IN MDSE)" at the "SUPERIOR DRUG (store - R.F. Jones) SUPERIOR ARIZ." once located in historic mining town of SUPERIOR, ARIZONA
This is the very rare "outer ring" of bi-metallic drug store listed in latest Arizona token catalog as catalog SUP-785c.....so the aluminum center is missing...but all the important info to identify token is on the outer brass...i do know people who literally find a little aluminum inner planchet to fill center.....but this is genuine, and very rare to find, and often the center falls out or corrodes, leaving the outer ring
As bizarre as it sounds, many years ago I had for sale an outer ring of a very rare Goldfield Nevada bi-metal token, and i sold it to a treasure hunter who i thought was going to jump out of his skin.... this person actually found the "inner" segment of the bi-metallic token, and completed this rare $1500 token...and it fit right in...so consider a decent filler until a perfect one is found....or go find a mid section
THE HISTORIC MINING CAMP TOWN OF SUPERIOR IS LOCATED IN PINAL COUNTY, NOT FAR FROM QUEEN VALLEY, RAY GHOST TOWN & MIAMI ARIZONA
Trade token was bi-metal, and this is the outer ring, round, about 28mm in size, and it displays nicely. (please see pictures in gallery) At least the outer ring has the more pertinent info....town, state, name of business :)
Gallery pictures should show you all you need to know.
EXTREMELY RARE R9, BOOKS $200.....OUTER RING ONLY, BUT STILL DISPLAYS NICELY old "GOOD FOR 25 IN MDSE" token, once used at the old "SUPERIOR DRUG STORE"...in the historic mining town of SUPERIOR, ARIZONA
Thanks so much for looking....collect and invest in history!!!!! Tangible assets are always the best ones.
