<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 68772, member: 2100"]Well, I don't think that would be enough money to acquire the short-lived set that I would choose. But, a complete Civil War token set would be certainly be nice, especially since no one has even ever assembled a complete (and much easier) set of just 1 token from each of the 400 issueing towns (not even the Fulds, who owned about 1 million, or 1/2 of all known cwts). But I'm not sure if there would be enough money. Let's see, if they were all inexpensive commons, 12,000+ varieties x $20/ea for a nice example = $240,000. Problem is, 80% of varieties are rather scarce at pops of 20 or less, many unique, and cost just a tad more than commons. With so many very low pops, money is not necessarily the problem that availability is. The money could be burning a hole in my pocket and so many varieties are simply not available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
