Pricing References For Exonumia?

The following books specifically have pricing. However, all are outdated, and the pricing is retail, not wholesale. In most cases, pricing has increased, but not linearly. In some cases, though, pricing has decreased.

A combination of these books, and sale prices are the best guide. Heritage numbers help, but aren't absolutely definitive; ebay also helps. Also show pricing is usually significantly less.

Rarity plays a huge factor, so does popularity. Slabbed and raw also play an influential factor. Combination of rarity and slabbed grades are terrific indicators too.

Yes.

Here's an article on Numismatic Rarity Scales. This can help when judging values of various specimens.

There are many exonumia dealers who run private auctions and put out price lists. These can provide a good means of judging values. Also, some of the more prominent auction "houses" have links to their archives; Heritage and Stacks, being my personal favorites.

Steve Hayden has a great website and runs his own auctions. David & Charlotte, CD Gale, put out a large price list which can be downloaded online. Paul Cunningham and Dick Grinolds each carry a large stock of exonumia. I see them at shows. Check out Rich Hartzog's website, World Exonumia, if your not already familiar with it. Ernie Latter always has high quality offerings at shows and on ebay. If you're not familiar with it, check out "Richard's Token Database" which is a super website to ID tokens.

One of my favorite guys to buy from is Norm Peters at PO Box 29 in Lancaster, NY. He has no online presence. If you write to him, he'll send you a catalog full of offerings. He publishes two a year, I believe, and he has a wide variety of exonumia, fifty pages or more.

Another fine dealer who I've seen at shows is Terry Hess at PO Box 1625 in Hendersonville, TN 37077-1625. He has a wide variety of stock.
