It's been quite a while since I have found anything, but this last weekend at the MSNS show I couldn't resist this, especially at the price. This is a MI525C-3b, R-9   |

Thanks guys. I'm thinking that this token as an R9 may have it's Rarity rating changed with the Third Edition of the Fuld token book being worked on right now. I say that because the Fuld R9 rating means that 2-4 are estimated to exist, and I own two of them.

1863 Christoph Karls, 42nd Ave A New York, Token, F630AM,1a I think this is rated R-2 in Bowers new Civil War Token Book with a mintage of 2,000 - 5,000; Obverse: Seated Goddess (Gernania?) facing left mountains and body of water in the background; Rx: CHRISTOPH KARL, 42 AVENUE A...located in the East Village and now a pizza eatery. Here is my 3rd party source that has some other really great info: http://www.collectors-society.com/J...ntryID=14714   |

Nice. Bill, I agree that it should be re-rated. I've seen many of the Jackson tokens for it to actually be an R9. One of my friends has one, too, so that makes 3 out of the 4 for an R9. Wonder where the LAST one is?  |

The most egregious over rating is the MI525C-3a. That will be changed from an R9 to a R3 in the new book. There are several on ebay right now, and I have owned several as well. So R3 strikes me as fair. This brass MI525C-3b should be changing as well, but haven't received any advance word on it. Edited by Penny Guy

Thanks Dave. I had thoughts of flying down to FUN this year but economics decided it wasn't the best idea. LOL.

Bill, you're most welcome. I sure hope I find something I can't live w/out. It seems harder & harder to find anything worthwhile on E-Bay at a REASONABLE price... Seems like the selling prices have really gone up the past two yrs  |

So true Dave. With the major token collections hitting the market and most being slabbed the prices have jumped significantly.

Here is my newest Michigan store card for the Michigan Towns/City collection. As it typical with Alexander Gleason tokens the lettering is somewhat uneven due to all letters not being punched with equal force and letter alignment is off a bit. Still, it's an Rarity 6 from a 7+ rated town.  |
