<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 109364, member: 68&quot;]OK.&nbsp; But this is going to be a lot of typing (which I hate) so I&#039;ll start slowly and see if anyone else lists some.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The best general reference is &quot;Tokens and Medals&quot; by Alpert-Elman- 1991. It will list the general category of about 99% of what you see.&nbsp; Don&#039;t take prices too seriously since they can be all over.&nbsp; Scarce issues can bring huge premiums and common issues can sometimes be acquired for almost nothing. This reference shouldn&#039;t be overly difficult to locate. </p><p><br /></p><p>For transportation tokens there&#039;s little alternative to the three volume &quot;The Atwood-Coffee Catalog-1983.&nbsp; The first volume is all you need to identify US and Canadian tokens.&nbsp; Prices are again a little iffy but can be useful if adjusted.&nbsp; Common tokens wholesale at about 3c and there are perhaps 100 of these.&nbsp; Scarcer tokens start at catalog (15c usually) and go up to $1.&nbsp; Very scarce tokens 50c and up catalog) are usually worth about double catalog dependent on state) Rare tokens go from triple catalog to about $500 dependent on demand and state.&nbsp; If you collect varieties you&#039;ll need vol 2 and 3.&nbsp; Vol 2 lists many of the mintages and is interesting. If you join the AVA these catalogs will be much cheaper and this is a fun organization.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
