The United States started making transit and transportation tokens around 1832. Great examples are the brass coins that were minted for John Gibbs’ U.S.M. Stage in New Jersey. Horse car tokens were also issued widely throughout the 1830s, as were horse-drawn omnibus tokens. The United States opened its first subways in Boston in 1897 and in New York in 1904.


The vintage transportation and transit tokens lots I sell come from bridges, railways, buses, ferries, and streetcars. They range in age from the 1920s to the 1970s, with most of them being pre-1950s. These tokens come from every conceivable transportation method imaginable from all over the country, and possibly abroad. 

I caution the average buyer to not buy transit tokens in certain amounts such as 50 or 100 tokens at time to avoid being on the wrong side of a pricey deal. If you’re going to buy these tokens, it’s wise to get them by weight for a favorable price and make sure that you’re getting at least twenty-five different types tokens, thus avoiding high duplication.
