Rare or Irreplaceable, but not expensive. Do you have any?

This is a merchant token from a small coal community on Campbell's Creek in West Virginia. It is not a coal company scrip piece. The Oiler family were some of the first members of the Methodist Church there. I've been collecting items from this area for over 20 years and this is the first one I've seen... A great addition to my collection.

It's always a warm fuzzy when you come across something you have not seen before in an a series in which you specialize.

I like that. It even goes along with the "Love" theme that seems to be permeating the threads today.

There are some tokens in my collection that fall into this category. The prices are for most coins these days, that takes out the "rare or irreplaceable, but not expensive" part.
Many of the zinc cent clips in my collection have known pops in the low single digits, yet I purchased most of them for $50 or under.

Not rare but entertaining. On the love theme.

Most pie cutters/spur roundels were made from large cents rather than silver coins. This one cost me $42.45 and is an 1853 ARR quarter.

Great piece @Sonorandesertrat. Pieces like this really brings me back in history because we can see how people used and interacted with their coins more.

This is the most interesting lamination I have ever seen.
Where is the fire?
It's really interesting to see the inner grid pattern of the copper.
