    Hi, I am an ameteur numismatist and I would like to publicize my coin, token and medal categories. Have you ever had a coin, token or medal and wondered where exaclty to classify it? Have you ever wanted clearly defined categories with no fuzziness for your coins, tokens and/or medals? If so, then, try my categories. I will basically list them here; and then answer any questions that will come along the way. All categories are well defined so that any particular numismatic piece that is either a coin, token or medal can only fall into one category. Also, I just want to let everyone know that I did a lot of research on this; and some category names are already universally specified and known, while others are introduced by me. Please enjoy.
