<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Circus, post: 3984917, member: 51195&quot;]My suggestion is to find a reputable coin auction house, that deals in tokens. In the general east coast area,close to the area. I don&#039;t have any knowledge of New England tokens.</p><p>The problem in today&#039;s market People that were interested in Merchant tokens. are getting fewer and fewer. Ebay prices aren&#039;t a good indicator due to the sellers mostly don&#039;t have a clue as to real value of the piece and buyers generally over pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Get them appraised or at least find out if there are any known outstanding items. </p><p><br /></p><p>Q David Bowers at Stacks auction house&#039;s Wolfeboro NH office <a href="http://www.stacks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stacks" rel="nofollow">www.stacks</a> .com</p><p>email <a href="mailto:qdbarchive@metrocast.net">qdbarchive@metrocast.net</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage Auction HA.com&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>They have a permanent Auction archive at HA.com</p><p><br /></p><p>There is at least one token book New England merchant tokens out there. Howard Knickerbocker wrote it. e-mail knic.com tokens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Others on this forum should be able to suggest some other auction houses or dealers that can give info.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t had any dealings with any of the above. I don&#039;t do coins so I&#039;m out of the loop on the people that are in that end of the trade.</p><p>I have bought albums with a couple hundred tokens, Mardis Gras throws ect. most times they are at or below wholesale prices. Since there are limited buyers for them.</p><p>Also I have bought quite a few&nbsp; bulk bags with tokens/medals with high dollar prices on them. With more than 30 items in them For $20.00/$30.00</p><p>This isn&#039;t to scare you just to give you a sense of the market reality that is the current conditions. As with coins prices for a lot of items are neither increasing nor realizing much growth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m in the SE Mich. are, I don&#039;t what other areas of the U.S. are doing.</p><p><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/1781/43529459381_1518826864_z.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This book gives the basics about tokens collecting etc.</p><p>Consider this an answer to your PM[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
