That's a pretty neat background on this token and the game looks great for being so simplistic.   :)

Do you know any resources out there which puts a value on similar tokens?  Some of the more popular ones from the US are catalogued but obscure tokens are harder to place a value.

I don't know of any catalog that lists this kind of token. The price is an estimation based on the observation of not yet having encountered such a token for sale. I assume it's quite rare because these tokens were meant to be exchanged for money/goods at the gambling location and generally were not taken home by players.

The token was found in a huge pile of coins that I acquired a few years back.

I cannot find this exact token anywhere, but there are several with the same front or same back.   But .03 seems like a fair price for this coin.  Good luck with your sale.
