A Numismatic Game - Search For "Islands" On Coins And Tokens!

Let's continue playing. Next on the list is Maine.
In this state I found about 25 different islands that have tokens for them.

Here's an example:

Vinalhaven island, Maine. I have found a number of numismatic items for this island. For example, wooden nickels of various types, plastic food tokens, and other types of tokens.

Vinalhaven island 1,5,10,25 and 50 cent food stamp tokens



200th anniversary, Vinalhaven island

The next state is Maryland. There are quite a few different islands and tokens for them, about 20 different islands.

There are several series of tokens known for Taylor's Island, but only one series gives the full name and only one denomination of 5 cents is known.

Taylor's Island, Maryland, Cannery Co token, 5¢

Next is the state of Minnesota. According to the list there are a dozen islands and there are tokens, but basically all the islands are not real, but just specific names.. This is probably a feature of numismatics in this state. Bird Island, Coney island, Pine Island..
For example:

Music Island, Free Drink token

We continue the game for each state separately according to the list. Next is the state of Mississippi, which has many interesting islands with tokens.

One day in an old magazine I saw a description of a token with the inscription: D.I.O.P.Co

This abbreviation stands for: Deer Island Oyster Packing Co. , Deer Island (Mississippi):

It was not easy to find islands and tokens in the next state of Missouri. But we managed to find several different islands and tokens for them.

Cline's Island, Missouri, (this island no longer exists, only the name remains in history), 25¢ token, 1914 :

Thank you jbuck!

I play this game to have a reason to review everything I managed to collect and double-check it in detail. I think I'm almost done collecting. I wonder what came out of it all.

Why am I interested in this game in the USA. Because I have collected and sorted seemingly all the islands on the planet among numismatics, by all countries. It remains to clarify everything in the USA because here the history of numismatics is very complex and very turbulent, and complex geography, and many different states and additional territories.

For me personally as a collector this game and my theme look absolutely clear, logical and straightforward. At first I just as an ordinary collector collected one coin from each country on the planet, there are more than 200 of them. When I had basically collected all of this and put it into albums, I noticed that I was generally unable to find coins from those countries that were registered on various small islands.

I then decided to make a list of what I was missing on the islands, checked the catalog. But it turned out that there were other local catalogs and there were also numismatics, and different forms of numismatics that I had not encountered before, and this was also on different islands.

Then I decided to make a simple list on my computer of what I was missing for a complete collection of islands. A simple list and photos. This was about 10 years ago.
But I was shocked and surprised by the fact that I still can't finish my list. I can't because I keep discovering more and more new islands in numismatics.

I have checked over these 10 years on a variety of forums and sites - and I saw that no one has ever collected such a topic about islands, and this surprises me very much.

In general, I told where I got this game and this theme. I hope that there will be others who want to play this or just explore it, and sort out all the islands at least by states with the USA. That's what this game is for, as I explained.

Nice examples!
