I found a token almost a year ago. On it it says, good for 5C in trade Albion Merc. Co. From what I've heard this coin is really rare. I haven't been able to find hardly any information on it. I'm just trying to figure out how much it's worth, because I'm thinking of selling it. I've was offered $500 for it about 6 months ago, and more recently $250. I kind of want to hold on to it, but kind of want to sell it. So if anyone could help me, with info on this coin, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Travis

If you are wanting to sell it then I'd hold out for a serious collector that has the money and is willing to pay top dollar.

Got pics?

Ebay continues to be a good source for Idaho tokens. The highest price paid that I saw this month was for an "Albion Merc. Co. Ltd. / Albion / Idaho // Good For / 5c / In Trade". It sold for $895.00

Yeah, that is the coin that I have. I don't have any pictures here, but it is in really nice shape, just a little discolored because I found it metal detecting. I'll try to get some pictures on here soon though.

Remember that trade tokens are a limited-interest niche of exonumia- your buying audience is pretty small so do not refuse a decent offer just for the sake of holding out for more money. Personally, I would have taken the $500 and run with it...

BTW,
