seeking Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 i assumed it was ny, but im looking at a couple 'history of nyc subway tokens' and they all list the same 5 basic token styles. this obviusly is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 its not NY. if it is, there is no record of it on any of the mta sites that run down complete histories of the tokens they used, which includes one's that were never even released.

SUR X3 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 NO.... Well, I did a quick search for all areas that had something called a Metropolitan Transit Authority. Then I took into account where he is located. Then I made a hugely uninformed guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of Hell Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 You know.. it could have been a bus token, and above ground trolley token, but the MTA is New York. It just may not be subway token Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUR X3 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I've actually found like 30 other coins from across the country with the words "Metropolitan Transit Authority" on them. But they usually say the city, including New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of Hell Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 The back of the token should have a T in the middle, and the pic you posted led me to believe it was the same on both sides. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
