Do you use this forum to ask about tokens like these two?

    The first one is an old Minneapolis Trolley Car token. Minneapolis at one time had trolley cars like San Francisco. I think they recently tore up the last of the trolley lines on Washington in Downtown Minneapolis. The second is a bus token for Eau Clair Wisconsin transit. I have no idea what they're worth. Looks like good ebay material to me... image

    The Eau Claire token is common.

    The Minneapolis token comes with several different reverses which vary from common to
    extremely common. It looks like yours has Crosby reverse and is one of the first runs for
    this extremely common token. It would be a little unusual if true.

    Crosby on reverse.

    Transit tokens are really cool. I've got a K-Trans token from Knoxville Tenn that dates bakc to the 30's.
