Product Details

This is not your average trade token — this is a museum-grade multi-strike survivor. The planchet carries evidence of three separate strikes from different eras, layered like geological strata: 1️⃣ First strike – Six-star maverick host (⭐ L / ⭐⭐ T (letter between top stars, likely P) / ⭐ R / ⭐⭐ B). 2️⃣ Second strike – “TRADE ONLY 5” inside triangle, three stars below — classic 1930-40s private-mint bar issue. 3️⃣ Third strike – Large “499” numerals stamped over the prior two designs, creating a triple-depth relief visible under angled light. Every rotation of the die produced new metal flow lines and raised intersections — the result is a one-of-a-kind overstrike anomaly that no two collectors will ever duplicate. Metal: nickel-aluminum alloy (silver-tone) Era: c. 1930s–1950s Collector Value: Comparable single-layer tokens sell $10–20 each; double-overstrikes $150–250. This confirmed TRIPLE-STRIKE with readable host features commands $950 – $1,200+ to advanced exonumia specialists.
