<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 4532240, member: 88212"]That could be true IF you can identify the location or issuer. Initials tokens are very hard to identify from scratch unless you get them from the issuer or his heirs. Three initials are slightly less difficult if you know where the token was originally found. The only good option to look is Richard's token database which lists over 500,000 tokens - many of them with photos. My pricing rule of thumb on identified tokens is $2.50- per R. An R-10 identified token would usually bring about $25 and an R-1 usually brings $2.50. Some categories of tokens go higher than that. Unlisted tokens with towns on them will frequently bring more than $25 unless it is obvious that they were from a hoard that has been found. I would guess that there are less than 1000 serious state collectors and maybe 100 serious collectors who try to get the entire country. There are some specialists who collect things like lumber; real estate; coal; military; transportation; civil war tokens; hard times tokens. Almost all collectors keep their own state and maybe their home state too. good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
