<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3578929, member: 32619&quot;]Last night I took more pictures. I think I just about have my entire token collection photographed! Now I just need to go through and edit the images and update my catalog, this will be a nice project for today. </p><p><br /></p><p>In this post I wanted to share with the group this recent purchase:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]954662[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>James Curto is the godfather of military tokens. He was the first to start cataloging and writing about them. For a while I would occasionally see his books pop up on eBay but I never considered them &quot;must haves&quot; as his work was older and superseded by Cunningham. I should have taken a side shot, this volume is much slimmer than Cunningham&#039;s, about 1/2&quot; to Cunningham&#039;s 3 1/4&quot;. Curto&#039;s work attempts to be much broader in subject matter including cataloging medals, challenge coins, wooden nickels, etc. Slowly I began to get interested in actually purchasing some of his work - just to see what it was and if nothing else to add it to my collection. When this signed copy came available I couldn&#039;t resist. Interesting to note some of the differences between Cunningham and Curto. Cunningham organizes tokens by state/country then alphabetically while Curto goes by type such as Airfields, Arsenals, Barracks, Camps, Forts, etc. </p><p>With the addition of the above book, my military token reference library now includes four volumes![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
