>>1988730A lot of collectors try to get one from each town in a state, right? And some of these towns have very few known examples.
for instance I personally dug 31 of the 40 known tokens from Stumptown, Colorado. I have the only complete collection of tokens from that town and also the largest collection. And I'm not selling most of them.
Even more extreme examples- There's 7 known tokens from Ibex Colorado and 5 of them are right there in my pic. So if someone needs an Ibex token for their collection they have to wait for me to die. I also have most of the Bucktown Colorado tokens there, and almost half of the Oro City tokens ever found.
Not a lot of people collect them, when I auction one of these suckers on ebay it usually only has a dozen bidders or so. But they will pay a few hundred dollars for a token they need. The alternative is to wait decades for another one to come up for sale, and a lot of these are one-of-a-kind or only a couple examples out there.
