Agreed… I hate to say, I stay from Chinese stuff altogether, because of that problem. Once bitten twice shy.
I hope thats the case, it will be fun. Midwest madness........
The 2 tokens shown were from a mixed lot, which included some junk silver, at a local auction. So it’s hard to figure individual cost. But I tell...
FUN … I also was born in Illinois, ended up a Packer backer.
Thanks, lots of information, appreciated. I have the 4th edition (1982) of Fulds “Patriotic CW tokens”, probably should consider some updated...
Here are two new ones for me… I won them at a local auction some time ago. I believe these are actually called store cards, but tokens will due....

I’m not sure what you asking, but the following may help….Dealers walk from table to table at shows just like non-dealers, to both buy and sell...
I’ve seen those Brazilian notes before, but always with the devaluation counter stamp on their face, NICE
Nice find, Dr Kegg … Those $20 look crisp. Wish I had a million of them. Been a little lazy with my note collection lately, with all this...
