I don't know a thing about these. I can't seem to find any sold listings on Ebay for them and I don't have a token book. Anyone have any info they could share? Value? Rarity?

    I do not know about rarity or value but I found this on tokencatalog.com:
    "John W. Hisey is listed as having jewellery store in the 1910 Census. In 1920, he is shown as general merchandise. His business was located outside of Bridgewater proper, on the road to Sangerville, which is 7 miles west. Schenkman states the 1910s directories show his store in Sangerville".
    He also issued 1cent and 5cent tokens in addition to the three denominations that you pictured. The second edition of Virginia Tokens by Dave Schenkman was released in 2015. This might contain more information. However, I do not have a copy. I hope this helps.
