I'm also an annual member of the Penn-Ohio group and a life member of the DWMC/IOWMC group. I don't disagree with anything this poster said but would add this. Under everything else the main sub-categories of collections are TYPE SETS (one of each reverse design); generics (ones that can't be located but are not mavericks); merchants (both store cards and good fors). good for woods appeal to both wood collectors and token collectors. Those mavericks that can be located through research are called attributed and are valued similarly to those that have a location on them. Officials tend to have the highest average values. Most collectors at least collect their own state plus whatever categories of occupations that interest them. The younger collectors sometimes try to collect everything and build huge collections. Those collections generally get pared down later as they tend to get more specialized. That said there were many old time collectors with massive collections that were dispersed from their estates after they passed away. I will not state what I collect on a public forum. That is what private messages are for. Hope that this aids the discussion.

 

These three are 58 mm in diameter and about 0.3 mm thick.

 

You have some really nice pieces.

 

Great wooden Nickels!

 

They came in red and black

 

A number of these came in different colors. It's fun to get one of every color.

 

Two of my favorites

 

Very nice and definitely older ones.

 

A couple more. The last appears to be an overstrike on the reverse date.

 

@Nyatii Is that a 6 over a 5? Looks like it in the photo.

 

It's hard to tell, even in hand, but that's what it looks like to me.

 

Me to but I'm looking at a photo and that's harder. Makes sense to me though.

 

1 million pieces? Holy Geez! I assume that many of these are duplicates of the same issue? Surely there aren't a million different wooden nickels?
