can someone help identify a coin?

Geoman

Okay, I do not have a picture. Someone out of the blue emailed me and asked about this coin, what it is worth, and what it really is. I'll list what he gave me below. I don't have a clue. Any guesses?

i have a coin that says "missouri sales tax receipt" it is about the size of a queter and has a picture of the state in the middle

Thanks!

Dunno what it is but delete the email and fuggettaabouttitt...

Sounds like a missouri sales tax receipt.

I'm not sure how big a queter is though, but it must be pretty big to fit the entire state on it.

Maybe a queter collector can shed some light on this?

It's a tax token. Look tax token up on a web search...there were quite a few states that issued them.

Link to eBay auction

an educated guess without seeing it in person and knowing more about it would be a few dollars

in other words it has like a 90% chance of being worth a few dollars if properly identified at a dealers table for sale at a show where there are collectors looking for these sales tax tokens ready willing and able to buy

Does it look like this:






If so it's just a sales tax token worth at most 50 cents.
