I recently came across thus little bag with what I think are original bingles coins

Those look to be Alaska Rural Rehab tokens. I believe they may date back to the New Deal and were issued in the mid 1930s. These are collectable and are in the Red Book. These may have a reasonable value depending on how they look in hand. The $10 looks as if it may have a corrosion issue. This is a great find... congrats

I wonder if I should get graded or just sell as is? I think the 10$ will be ok its not bad at all.

These are very cool yet incredibly niche. I would try finding a buyer for the set as is.

Absolutely agree. No need to slab these.

There are lots of examples at Heritage. Most of the money is in the $10 and the $5. Looks like comfortably $1000+ for the set. Nice find!

@Gothat3rs

To address your question about grading it just really depends on how they look in hand. They all look circulated so my gut reaction is that grading them will not likely produce the greatest net return. Even still, these do look attractive for what they are and should bring a decent price. There are dealers that specialize in Tokens that I suspect would be interested in either an outright purchase or perhaps taking them on consignment.

Yes i agree there circulated. I think they look pretty good for what there are. The only reason I was considering grafing them was to prove authentic when having to sell online. It wasn't as much for the numerical grade point. Of course it does suck paying to get graded 8 coins lol. Eats right into the profit

I was thinking of a Plexiglas holder with an Alaskan Theme image incorporated as a backdrop. Neat set of tokens!

Great idea man. Now where can I get a case to fit these? Especially a alaska themed one lol

If you can get me measurements of each of the items, i.e. with a micrometer or digital calipers, I'd make a small album for you for those tokens. I can do a write-up on Alaska and the history of those tokens on the inside covers too.

What would you want for something like that?

I expect this to be a two page pocket-size album, my normal going rate on that is $35.

That's awsome man and I totally would have done it but last night I just decided to put them on ebay how they were really quick. See if anyone responded and crazy. It was the fastest sale I ever made. Literally I posted it and 2 minutes later they sold. For way more then I even started the bid at lol
