Interesting thread. Here's another on the same topic: http://www.unrv.com/forum/topic/10952-numismatics-more-than-coinsspintriae/ As others have...
I've searched through the Standard Catalog of US Tokens (3rd edition) with no luck. I started out by searching the index for all of the tokens...
I wonder why that is? Are mintages (& the rarity they often align with) less important among European collectors? I know that back in the early...

I haven't checked in on values of these recently, but have a set of the first 5 pucks. What are they going for lately?
