    Hi there all..
    Now I know this is not a coin, but it looks like one so I guess you could help me with this one. I got a token from the 1974 Worlds Fair in Spokane Washington. This is what it says on it: "TOKEN GOOD FOR ONE DOLLAR IN TRADE AT ANY CONCESSION IN THE EXPO. 74 SITE MAY 4 - NOV 3 1974".
    On the other side it says: "CELEBRATING TOMORROW'S FRESH NEW ENVIRONMENT". The state of the token isnt that good. You can see clearly (with a light) what it says on it, but there is lots of small scrathces and it was clearly used a lot. Also theres a little bit of some green stuff on the edges. Could you please tell me how much somebody would pay for this? Thank you.

    I have 4 of these still in their original cardboard that my grandparents brought back from the fair. On Ebay they seem to sell for between $15-$20. Not much. Better to keep as a momento I guess.

    If not in perfect shape it does not have a value - many are availible for for a few cents to a dollar or so in mint state. Sorry,

    Elmex,

    Looking forward to your Russian coins. There seem to be quite a few fans of the early 19th century Russians here at Cointalk.
