It is certainly a good show despite lack of participation.

I do need to point out it is coins and tokens, not just tokens. I am sure the OP will not mind if you post pictures of something that previously qualified.

Once you get through your run, maybe this needs to be moved to the "Post Your..." Gallery Topics forum and let anyone post anything with islands depicted or referenced. Thoughts?

Thank you all for your comments! The next states in the alphabet are Ohio and Oklahoma and the island tokens for those states were shown earlier. Next on the list is Oregon. There are different islands and here is one of them, four options for five cents:

Deer Island
, Oregon, 5¢ tokens

The next state in the alphabet is Rhode Island. Above is a token of one fort on a small island in that state. Here is another example of a token for another small island:

The next state in the alphabet is South Carolina. I noticed two series of tokens for Daniels Island. Many tokens I have seen only in one copy and they are cracked. Maybe someone has photos of whole copies? :

For special connoisseurs it will be interesting to see the second version of tokens for this island. So far I have managed to find only two denominations - 5 and 10 cents:

Maybe someone has better photos or other denominations of such tokens? Please show them. Are they in catalogs?

Yes, it's not a simple game. It's a difficult search. Thank you for trying to find it!

The next state in the alphabet is South Dakota. It's hard to find islands there, but there are a few. Here are two series of pressed cents:

nice additions Gamer!


I'm glad you like my finds! I'll be interested if you also find some numismatics about the American islands!

The next state in the alphabet is Texas. There are many interesting islands and numismatics there. For example, here are tokens for an island that used to exist but now no longer exists:

Irish Bend island , Texas, tokens:

The next state in the alphabet is Utah. In this state I have managed to find only two islands so far. And both do not exist. Or rather, there used to be, for example, Antelope Island, but now it does not exist. I have collected various numismatic series about this island:

Antelope Island, Utah, State Park, elongated pressed cents:

Using the example of Antelope Island, I will show what the game can be. I was interested in finding numismatics about this island and I found three more wooden nickels

and two beautiful commemorative tokens:

The next state in the alphabet is Vermont. There are various islands there, but for some reason the tokens are hard to find at auctions. For example, here is a token from a farmers market on the islands (located on Grand Island):

Champlain Islands (Vermont), Farmers' Market tokens, 1$ & 5$

Does anyone have better quality photos?
