Overview

A brass promotional token for a club in Kansas City, featuring a head of a horse on one side and a donkey (mule) seen from behind on the other.

Historical significance

This is a piece of regional exonumia from Missouri. The 'New Pasome Club' was a social or possibly gaming establishment located at 3048 Main St. in Kansas City. These tokens were often used for membership, promotion, or as 'pocket pieces' for good luck. The address is now in the Union Hill neighborhood.

Obverse (front)

Features the head of a horse facing right, framed within a horseshoe. Below are stylized symbols including an arrow pointing down and looped motifs.

Reverse (back)

Features a rear view of a donkey or mule. Text around the rim reads: 'NEW PASOME CLUB' at the top and '3048 MAIN ST. K.C. MO.' at the bottom.

Estimated value

$10-$30 depending on local interest and condition.

What drives this coin's value

The hole significantly reduces numismatic value to serious collectors. Local historical interest in Kansas City artifacts is the primary value driver.

Grade assessment

Fine/Very Fine. Shows significant surface scratches, some toning, and a hole drilled at the top for use as a keychain or pendant.

Mintage & rarity

Unrecorded mintage; considered scarce to collectors of Kansas City memorabilia but technically common in the context of generic tokens.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for crispness of lettering and the 'feel' of the brass. Counterfeits for this specific local token are unlikely due to its low value.

Notable varieties & errors

None commonly cataloged, though slight variations in strike and thickness exist among merchant tokens.

Similar coins

Often confused with general 'good luck' tokens or political campaign tokens because of the donkey imagery.

Care & preservation

Do not clean with abrasives or chemicals. Store in a PVC-free flip or capsule to prevent further oxidation.
