Union Pacific token

Tokens | user_9894

Here is my Union Pacific token, I had three, but I donated 2 to an auction of railroad memorabilia. Mine is 1934, but there was a 1933. You can read about this token in the September issue of The Numismatist magazine. I have had the tokens for many years and didn't think anyone was interested in them, but they are making a comeback and at auction they sold for $20.00! Money went to the Division 4 MCR of the National Model Railroad Association.  You will notice the reverse, after flipping vertically that the reverse is rotated about 45 degrees on my token.

That little medal is more well-designed than some coins! Railroad buffs, and my dad was one, would love this.

Railroadania (spelling), and model trains lends itself to many, many endeavors. Historical, electrical, mechanical, artistic, creative, etc. and much more for the person to dive into.

This is similar to the token I have from the copper of the Statue of Liberty that Sears had made. Very nice.

First that's nice you donated two. That's another way of spreading the word. That was nice. This is nice to. Nice pic up. Sometimes we go over old things and surprise ourselves with the value of how some things have gone up. Enjoy it and keep up the nice work. Mike
