What drives this coin's value

Grade assessment

Fine to Very Fine; showing moderate circulation wear and surface scuffs.

Mintage & rarity

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Authenticity is rarely an issue due to low value; check for standard weight and non-magnetic properties common in brass Pachislo tokens.

Notable varieties & errors

Minor variations in font size or decorative stars may exist between different production runs.

Similar coins
