<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 196902, member: 283&quot;]Values of jetons vary tremendously dependent upon a number of different factors. Although my main collecting focus is `jetons&#039;, Nurenberg manufactured jetons are not my speciality area. As such I can&#039;t honestly give you an indication of value. I&#039;ve seen jetons with little or no value sell for way over the odds at auction due to bidiots. I&#039;ve also seen jetons that are worth a fortune sell for peanuts due to public disinterest and ignorance ....or collectors simply being asleep at the wheel. You would be safer&nbsp; simply holding on to it until you get a reference for it. I would. However, at the same time I also think you would be wise to assume that it is worth only $2-$5. The vast majority of these rechenpfennings are. Having said that, you never know when there will be an upsurge in people developing an interest in them. It is a fascinating subject area.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reference you need is Michael Mitchiner&#039;s `Jetons, Medalets &amp; Tokens volume One&#039; which specifically deals with Nurenberg jetons. I don&#039;t have it. Sadly, like most speciality literature, it&#039;s a bit on the pricey side (especially if you are only needing information on one jeton!). Perhaps you might be able to find one through the library system, but I suspect not....unless you have really exceptionally good library. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you get the chance to image the item, post it here and i&#039;ll see what i can do about getting it valued (as in getting hold of someone with the appropriate literature). Or maybe someonelse seeing this might know someone with the vol. in question........</p><p><br /></p><p>bon chance (as the french would say).</p><p><br /></p><p>Ian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
