    Antique Great Depression-era sales tax tokens from the state Missouri, issued so that consumers would not be “overcharged” retail sales tax of a full penny on small purchases of 5 or 10 cents.
    Lot of two (2).
    Like most of these tokens issued by 12 state governments and elsewhere by private firms and municipalities, these are in denominations of 1 mill (or 1/10 of one cent).
    Red plastic item reads “Missouri Sales Tax Token” surrounding a “1” inside a double circle on both sides.
    It measures 13/16” in diameter and is 1/16” thick.
    The silver metal item reads “Missouri Sales Tax Receipt” around the edges of both sides, which have in the center an outline of the state of Missouri and inside it, “1.”
    It measures 7/8” in diameter and is approximately 1/32” thick.
    Each weighs less than 1 g.
    Any condition assigned to listed items is based on my amateur, albeit conservative, opinion, so please examine available images closely and come to your own conclusion.
    Combined shipping available on multiple purchases upon request. That means that if an order contains at least one item with a shipping charge, although other items in the order are listed with free shipping, there will be a charge -- the lowest possible given the combined items.
    On listings where multiple copies of the same item are listed, labels associated with a color such as "Item Name-Yellow” or “Item Name-Purple" refer only to the color of the background used for identification purposes.
    Take care to note whether this auction is one in which multiple copies of the same or similar items are being sold
    individually
    , and that the price listed is for one of the items rather than all the items which might appear in a group photo
    .
    I want the buyer to be satisfied, so please ask any questions before purchase.
    Your satisfaction 100% guaranteed, or simply return your purchase within 30 days for a full refund!
    Thank you for your patronage.
