Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 12:04 pm I don't remember making it back to their table... oh well, there's always next year. Now I know their names, I can look them up. Do either of them have an actual website where they sell their tokens? I spent the first 2-3 hrs at the show at Steve Hayden's table... I guess I need to do better scheduling my time while there Edited by Dave H 01/16/2014 12:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 01/16/2014 10:14 pm Ok, thanks. I do watch a lot of their CW tokens (which are usually very nice) on E-Bay, but the prices there have continued trending up for the last few yrs. I used to buy most of my tokens there, but now have found it's getting cheaper to buy at coin shows... Have the Lakeland Collect-O-Rama show next month, then the summer FUN show. Although there won't be as many CWTs at either, at least there'll be some to look at. Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 01/17/2014 8:23 pm Was watching this ML Marshall token which has now ended, curious to see how much it would end at. All I can say is WOW . Nice but nowhere near that. Gotta wonder http://www.ebay.com/itm/1863-Civil-...p=true&rt=nc Edited by Dave H 01/17/2014 8:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 10:02 pm WOW is right. I've got a couple on watch myself, and expect similar results. Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 01/18/2014 10:30 pm I believe it... the tokens you're watching are probably R7-R9 though Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 06:29 am The Marshall token with the fish is quite common, being an R1 or an R2. The pictorial CWT's in general seem to be gaining in popularity, but I can't comprehend how the bidding got so feverish on this one ... something's fishy, methinks! Report this Post to the Staff

I get the something fishy. I know it's a popular token, but not worth anything close to what it ended up going for. There have been several I have seen on E-Bay (an MS-63 is listed right now) that were VERY nice that aren't worth what that one went for, so I concur w/ you... something FISHY for sure... Here are several of the nicer ones I've seen http://www.ebay.com/itm/M-L-Marshal...047675.l2557 http://www.ebay.com/itm/13109530885....m1423.l2649 Edited by Dave H 01/19/2014 11:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
brg5658 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 12:48 pm I picked up this nice 176/271 last week. A common token, but this one has a great strong strike and quite a bit of character and nice surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 4:41 pm Brandon, NICE pick up! I love the toning! I have one graded exactly the same, but mine doesn't look as pretty as yours! The green & purple coloring is primo in my book. Congrats!

Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 4:03 pm Beautiful brg, great surfaces and the contrast of the toning makes the detail just pop off the piece. Report this Post to the Staff

Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 4:11 pm One more off the Michigan towns and cities list. This token has problems, as you can see, most likely a ground find. Believed to be the work of S. D. Childs of Chicago. Today Maple Rapids is a very small village to the northwest of St. Johns Michigan. Token collectors think this is the second most difficult Michigan town token to obtain. Rated as a rarity 9, meaning that 2 to 4 are estimated to exist I am quite glad to have found this one, especially at a price significantly below market. This leaves me with six to go.

mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 01/25/2014 4:18 pm Congrats PennyGuy! When things are that rare a dug coin is quite acceptable IMHO. Edited by mackwork 01/25/2014 4:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
