Overview

A green plastic round advertising token featuring the 'Checkline' corporate logo over a grid background.

Historical significance

A piece of corporate exonumia used for branding or promotional purposes by Checkline (likely Checkline/Electromatic Equipment Co.), a manufacturer of industrial measuring tools. Such plastic tokens were common trade stimulators or 'good for' tokens in the late 20th century.

Obverse (front)

Displays the stylized 'Checkline' logo with a large concentric 'C' on the left, set against a square grid pattern.

Reverse (back)

Identical to the obverse; most plastic tokens of this type use a single-sided mold or duplicate the design on both sides.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $2.00 (primarily of interest to novelty or exonumia collectors)

What drives this coin's value

Condition and niche interest from collectors of corporate history or industrial memorabilia.

Grade assessment

Uncirculated / New Old Stock

Mintage & rarity

Common for promotional items; specific numbers unknown but typically produced in large batches for distribution at trade shows or with products.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

As a low-value plastic item, counterfeiting is not a concern. Genuine items will show clean molding and consistent color.

Notable varieties & errors

Color variations (red, blue, or yellow) may exist for different product lines or time periods.

Similar coins

Often confused with car wash tokens, arcade tokens, or supermarket 'trolley' tokens, but categorized specifically as advertising exonumia.

Care & preservation

Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading of the plastic. Store in an acid-free holder to prevent chemical breakdown.
