    Arcade Token for Coney Island, NY's "Astroland Amusement Park"
    It is brass and 25mm in diameter. - Circa 1970's - UNC (uncirculated)
    Obverse - Spaceship / Reverse - NO CASH VALUE
    ** Between about 1880 and World War II, Coney Island was the largest amusement area in the United States, attracting several million visitors per year. At its height it contained three competing major amusement parks, Luna Park, Dreamland, and Steeplechase Park, as well as many smaller independent amusements. From 1885 to 1896, the Coney Island Elephant was the first sight to greet immigrants arriving in New York, who would see it before they saw the Statue of Liberty. Luna Park closed in 1946 after a series of fires and the street gang problems of the 1950's spilled into Coney Island. Steeplechase Park closed in 1964. Astroland, which featured a large size spacerocket ride, served as the major amusement park from 1962 to 2008, and was replaced by a new incarnation of Dreamland in 2009, and of Luna Park in 2010.
