If you are making a post asking for help in identifying or placing a value on a piece of exonumia please read this first, and set your expectations accordingly

This subreddit is for coinlike items that aren't actual government-issued legal tender. This includes but is not limited to gaming and trade tokens, commemorative medals, art medals, non-military award medals, etc.
Exonumia has been produced all over the world, with some pieces dating back thousands of years. It isn't nearly as well documented as actual coins are. No one alive -- and certainly no one on this subreddit, is an expert on all types or pieces of exonumia. There is no single book or series of books that contains it all. You need to set your expectations accordingly. We will help you if we can, but that often just means that we will help you formulate web searches to find similar pieces online.
If you are looking for an identification please meet us halfway, to help us help you. Provide clear, well-lit photos of BOTH sides of a piece you are trying to ID. Please provide clues about where it came from, what you have already discovered through your own research, and give the item's weight/mass to the tenth of a gram and its dimensions in millimeters.
If you are looking for a value for something you have, you need to understand that the exonumia market is very different from the collector coin market. There are no price guides covering all exonumia. A piece's value is literally whatever someone will pay you for it. You can try checking the results of recent auctions to see what people have been paying for items like yours. There is no guarantee that your piece will sell for that much, however.

Trying to figure out exactly what this is and if it has any value. I am assuming silver based on the “plata pura 46.5g?” Thanks in advance.

Found in old Mahjong set: WA State Sales Tax Tokens 1935-1945
19
Upvotes
Bought an old mahjong set in a used furniture store... it came with the tiles, some racks, and a small box of tokens/chips for betting. The racks had these metal pillars to keep the tokens, and I assume at some point these three sales tax tokens got added by the previous owner of the set, to the pile of tokens because they had the right sized holes in them..
According to Numista, these were minted from 1935 to 1945. Aluminum.

Is there a subreddit for Civil War Tokens ???

Is there a sub-reddit solely for Civil War Tokens??? I am the admin for a BST Civil War Token FB group... Would it be allowable to post a link to it here ? Is buying/selling allowed on Reddit ??? Sorry if my questions are too broad, but I'm nearly 70 years old, and internet technologies aren't my strong point ! Thanks in advance, Jim

They were cheap so go figure they feel unfinished, have sharp edges and are essentially cut rounds of stainless steel with my images lasered on. Still I'm decently pleased as these are merely the first results.
