West Virginia Token question

Whitby

All-

As most of you know, I am very interested in WV exonumia.

Is there a book which would cover these types of token in detail?

Specifically, the numerous county centennial and city centennial tokens?

Any input would be welcome. The scrip end is a tad easier as I do have the Edkins Catalog for that, however, some of these are unusual and I would like to be able to get some more data on a few medals.

Call Joe Fama's store in Beckley, WV at 304-253-7400. He should be able to answer your question.

Will do and thanks!

Regular municipal medals are not catalogued to my knowledge. There just
isn't very much interest in such things. The municipal tokens that are good
for some amount of money are reasonably well catalogued by Jean-Guy Cote
in The Handbook of United States Municipal Trade Currency.

I'm sure you're aware of the various books available on coal tokens.

You'll also find WV tokens listed in various other specialties such as amusement
and transportation tokens.

Thanks cladking....I have however found that certain municipalities have ceased to exist and a such have some historical interest to me....but hey, they are cheap now.

I put a few pics of mine in this thread but wasn't sure if you saw those or not.
Is there anything good in there yet ?

The Mercer County token is cool. In fact, a copy is on sale on the bay now.

I am still; seeking the elusive Raleigh County Centennial token

I though I would provide a link for some coal scrip (West Virginia Exonumia) for folks if they are so interested:

A majority of these pieces are in my collection, however, some very rare pieces were also posted with the permission of the kind folks at the Yahoo WV Coal Scrip collectors group
