Description

For your consideration is a stunning, high-grade example of a vintage Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) "One Fare" token. Unlike most circulated transit coins that show heavy wear from years of use in fare boxes, this particular specimen is in near pristine condition, retaining its original sharp details and luster. This token features the iconic "MTA" stylized logo within a central cutout, a classic piece of mid-century Los Angeles transportation history. Item Specifications: Issuer: Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (California). Catalog Reference: Atwood-Coffee CA 450 K. Era: Circa 1958–1964. Material: Nickel Silver (White Metal). Diameter: 16.45 mm (approximately dime-sized). Obverse: "LOS METROPOLITAN MTA TRANSIT AUTHORITY ANGELES". Reverse: "GOOD FOR METROPOLITAN MTA TRANSIT AUTHORITY ONE FARE". Condition Note: This token appears to be Near Mint . The high points of the lettering and the "MTA" logo are crisp with no significant scratches, oxidation, or typical "pocket wear". Please refer to the high-resolution photos for the exact condition of the piece you will receive. Historical Significance: This token represents the transition era of LA transit before the modern Metro system was formed. It is a must-have for collectors of California exonumia, transit memorabilia, or anyone looking for a high-quality piece of 1960s Los Angeles history.
