Places to buy, sell, or trade tokens:
- eBay Auctions has all kinds of tokens
and often token books in their huge list of items up for auction. There are
typically between 8,000 and 10,000 items listed under "exonumia"!
Almost any kind of token will show up on eBay sooner or later.
- WCS bulk token sales. One of the
best price I've seen on bulk arcades ($34/10lb including shipping, under "mixed
tokens")! I have ordered several of their bulk lots and been very pleased.
They also have bulk casino tokens, Chuck E. Cheese tokens (generic and with
cities) and several "collector lots" as well as error coins and other things.
*NEW* WCS now has bulk lots of token with the "generic" tokens removed
for $44/10 lb. If you're a new collector, maybe you can use some of the generics,
but if you've been collecting a while, it's well worth the extra cost!
- Token Books - list of some places
to get books about tokens.
- Galata - A British site that sells
coins, tokens, and books about coins and tokens.

tokens, organized by state. Also list of transportation tokens available for
trade.
- CD Gale has a periodic
fixed price list of tokens. Usually lots of trade tokens and "better"
items, but a little bit of everything. You can download catalog from the web
page, but it is in .exe format for some reason, so I recommend requesting
a text copy by e-mail.

as "odd and curious money" and coins and banknotes.

arcade, transportation and trade tokens.

but includes a bit of everything. Latest bid list, and previous prices realized,
are available on the web page.
- Rich Hartzog Exonumia. Bulk arcade
tokens ($60/10lb, more expensive than WCS, but could be better stuff, I haven't
gotten any yet), bulk transportation tokens, and a great deal on the Atwood
catalog! Also some other tokens, lots of books about tokens, and periodic
mail bid sale catalogs.
- Michael Wehner has a web
page which includes lists of tokens for sale or trade.

(12/03) there were 148 items under "medals & tokens", but only
a few items had any bids, and almost nothing had more than one bid.
- ePier has a few tokens (25 when I checked
12/03) but hardly any bids. No listing fees, so might be worth a try. [I have
listed some items here, and sold some, but there isn't much bidding going
on.]
- Washington Square Coin
Exchange Lots of categories, but not a whole lot of inventory yet. Most
expensive bulk tokens I've seen! At $1/oz there had better be some good stuff
in there!

world coins and paper money, but usually a few tokens. Joel also issues $0.50
and $2.50 tokens. Tokens are issued for refunds or gift certificates, and
can be redeemed for items on Joel's lists. [Joel used to send a $2.50 token
to everyone requesting a catalog and sending $1 for postage, I'm not sure
if he's still doing this.]
