Lord M (or anyone else with any info):Are these tokens/pieces just junk or what?

These (a total of about 20 or so) were found in a binder that was my grandfather's. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think 4 of them are tax tokens in mils.

The first one is an Arizona tax token, How is the reverse oriented?

Just asking because I found 2 ugly ones and one has a random reverse orientation as shown below and I was wondering if reverse orientation is random:

1960NYGiants

Couple of transit tokens, too. New York City + Washington, DC

Grumpy:
The reverse on mine is the same as the reverse of the ones you posted.

So I take these are all junk eh?

GrumpyEd

Not sure about the others but the Az one is common.

I hung onto two different size NYC transit tokens.
Anyone what year they changed?

I've got one identical to the NYC that I saved from the World's Fair in 1965. I grew up in the D.C. area, and I remember seeing tokens like it that were used for streetcars and buses in the late 50's.

Thanks for the input DoU. The 1965 Worlds Fair and the 50's are way before my time. Not sure if I will just hang onto them or throw them on the Bay.

There are dozens of Ney York City TT's.

You're probably talking about the 1980 change to a larger size.

Junk? Define "junk".

Are these inexpensive pieces worth less than a buck each? Probably, as far as I know (which ain't a whole lot).

But I consider them good junk, not junk junk.

I like the square holey 1/5 cent piece.
