Two Maverick Tokens

[raw-war-digger]

I have several of these (mostly the round ones) that came from Gravel Hill, TN. These were brought from somewhere else as this small town never had a 27th Street much less an Ave. F. I found some as a kid growing up and have found a few with my metal detector. They are made of brass and the Good for 5 Cent Loaf of Bread measures 24.5MM. The Good for a 10 Cent Loaf of Bread measures 22MM x 30.5MM.
I would appreciate any help and possible value of each piece.

Thanks For Looking, Roger

Hi, Roger--nice pair of tokens! I can't find them in any of my references. You are right, with that address, the town must have been fairly large. I wonder if this business was the predecessor of "Dunkin' Donuts"? John in ID

$100, I am not real knowledgeable about tokens. Is that price normal for tokens? I have no idea what they can be worth.

Very nice finds, very nice indeed. Tokens are really cool to find. These are in great shape.

If you would give me $100 each for all of the tokens I have, I could retire and live like a king! $100 is certainly not the highest value for trade tokens, I have seen them sell for over $2000, but like anything else, supply and demand is the key. There are nowhere near as many token collectors as there are coin collectors, and the "market" has not been established for tokens. Most token collectors collect a certain type of token (ones that say "saloon" are popular), or from a certain state or area. So, if you find a token that two or more collectors want or need for their collection, and you get them bidding against each other (as in eBay), you may get a nice price. But, on the other hand, if you find a common token, you may never find a buyer. Think of the coins that are found metal detecting. For every $100 coin you find, how many Memorial Cents do you find?
