<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 350613, member: 2100&quot;]I had a few minutes and thought I could dig something up for you. I have three different Illinois exonumia references, but none of them list your token. In fact, none of them even list Pinckneyville as having any tokens issued from there. Ore H. Vacketta was the Illinois token expert, but he passed away a couple of years ago. Rich Hartzog was the broker for Vacketta&#039;s collection of over 11,000 different Illinois trade tokens. Rich is well known in exonumia circles, and it is possible that he may be able to shed some light on your token. If you can not find his contact info on the net, let me know and I will PM it to you. Hartzog indicated in the ad for Vacketta&#039;s collection that &quot;some rarer towns have been bringing $100-250+.&quot; I would certainly think that your token would fall into that category. I did not have time yet to check my listing of over 60,000 maverick tokens, so there is still a (small) chance that I may find something. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you would have any evidence to back up/verify to a collector that the token is from Pinckneyville (such as a business directory, old advertisements, stationary, etc.), your token would be very desirable to an Illinois token collector. I will let you know if I find anything in the maverick listings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
