<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2444915, member: 70703&quot;]Great introduction! Back when I started to buy for the purpose of re-selling to fund my own collection, i purchased an Army AND Navy token in a lot. I hadn&#039;t really looked in to these, but knew what it was. I sold it, and now I cry every time I think about it. One of those things you look back on and say &quot;why did you do that?!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks for writing this up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure the Redbook probably covers this, but my curiosity is piqued so I&#039;ll ask for the sake of discussion. How was this system profitable for a store owner or a sutler...Did, say the Army, buy bulk tokens from the sutlers, at a discount, then pay soldiers in sutler tokens, who then spent them with the sutlers at an assigned value lower than what they where purchased for? How was value figured for these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
