<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 2281222, member: 2100&quot;]The newest copy of Rulau&#039;s Standard Catalog of United States Tokens that I have is the 4th edition (2004). Your token is id number Il-El 6 (also Wright 287, Miller Ill. 42, Schmidt E27). This is the most readily available token in this series, of which 15 varieties are listed. It is made of white metal. Values listed by Rulau are: F $4, VF $9, XF $15, UNC $25.</p><p><br /></p><p>In verifying the rarity populations (there are many different rarity scales), what I saw in the introduction to Rulau&#039;s Trade token section was that an R5 rarity is given for known populations of 75 to 199, and is labeled as &quot;Very Difficult&quot;. I do have a concern with mentioning this difference in quantity as Rulau placed that rarity chart in a short section discussing Billiard tokens, rather than in a more general trade token discussion. But, I looked several times and did not see any other rarity chart in the trade token introduction to indicate that any of the non-billiard trade tokens would use a different chart. May I ask where you found the rarity information that you posted?</p><p><br /></p><p>All of the varieties in this series have rarity ratings of R5 or R6 (20 to 74 known). If a token is shown as rarity R5+, that indicates that the known population is at the lower end of the range for that rarity rating. For example, if there were say, 80 known specimens of a particular trade token, an R5+ rating could be used to indicate that its known population is close to being rated at the next level.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
