moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/08/2019 6:55 pm There are many collectors of any of the Worlds Fair memorabilia. There are hundreds of tokens that relate to them, although I've never seen a guide of any kind. I would think the intersection of exonumic and WF material would have a following too.

So-Called Dollars by Hibler & Kappen, although long in the tooth and not limited to world's fair medals, might be the best resource for evaluating such. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
chrisof4 Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 10/08/2019 9:29 pm Nice! I have some of those also. As soon as I saw yours I started digging around in my stash because it looked so familiar. Here is one of mine. I also have several dollar size tokens. I acquired these as part of a collection I bought out, but I have never talked with anyone else who had some of these.

chrisof4 Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 10/08/2019 10:44 pm Here are the dollar size tokens I have from the 62 Seattle Worlds Fair. The monorail, 30 tons of silver, and Space Needle all have the same reverse, so I just uploaded one of those. I posted the obverse and reverse of the other two tokens. It looks like the monorail one might have a die crack. Anyway, thanks for posting this. I have been meaning to get these photographed and placed in flips for a while, so your post was a good motivation! Report this Post to the Staff
