Default tokens are good

i like 'em...maybe not as much as a nice silver piece, but i'll always consider them good finds.

Some of the more rare tokens bring a TON of $$$ from collectors...personally, I prefer old silver (and gold) coins - but I'd never turn down a good token!

Try tokendatabase.com Common coins can get boring, Yet digging a token that wasn't ever even know to exist is a blast. Then doing the research and finding out about it's history is a rush. Tokens can vary in value, I've dug some only worth $2.00 then I've dug others worth $600.00 Check out my albums.

Coinhead, thanks for the link but it did not work for me! I love digging tokens almost as much as a good coin. I think they are so unique.

I love tokens, of course I'd rather find a good old coin than most tokens but tokens, to me, come before clad or most non-key date coins.

I'm sorry, It is tokencatalog.com A web-site Richard Greever started. Collectors nationwide can post images of their tokens by city / town / state. I've invested alot of time adding to this web-site so it will benifit collectors in the future.
