    I think a young collector would do well with these, since you can find them and put together a collection. They are earlier than Civil War tokens, and you can put together a whole page of them for less than $100!

    I'm very fond of the St. George halfpenny tokens.

    Very nice tokens!! Sold or gave away most of mine several years ago to pursue other hobby interests. Still have a few 'sentimental' ones however.
