I don't collect tokens or medals at all, but through various circumstances like bulk lot buys, inheritance etc. I've ended up with a whole bunch om them anyway. They're just sitting around in a box on my shelf, so I figured I'd finally get rid of/sell/swap them for something I actually want. Problem is, I know absolutely nothing about any of them, so I have no idea what to do - what is reasonable to expect in return, should I get rid of them in smaller lots or in one big haul - I don't even know what most of them are.
So (if anyone is still reading), I'm hoping someone will be able to help me out. Just a little bit. Whatever's possible.
Let's see a flurry of pictures!
01. These three are the big ones. The Roberto Landell de Moura one on the left is absolutely massive, both in diameter and thickness. Blank on the backside though, and I haven't been able to find any info on it at all. The second one is one of these variants, and the last one is selling on eBay for €5-10 (in top condition, unlike mine).
02. First one here is difficult to identify due to its poor condition, but the second one looks like this one. The third one looks exactly like this, except it is obviously not silver.
03. Four 'To Hanover' tokens. Quite a lot of info about on these, and they're made in various sizes and with different writings as well. Not worth a lot by the looks of it.
04. A few Germans, ranging from car wash token to a 1970 football World Cup medal with Jürgen Grabowski.
05. A couple of Italian phone tokens and a blank one.
06. Two Americans - one from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and one from "Math Igler's, Chicago's Beauty Spot".
07. A couple of British Armed Forces canteen tokens (I think this is one of them), a Reader's Digest Association Limited token, and two $2 The London Nitrate Co. Ltd., Oficina Santa Laura (Chile) tokens.
08. Two examples of this of this token.
09. No idea what these are. The first one looks like a dog tag - it says "Tail-waggers' club" and "I help my pals", and there's a number engraved... Second one has an image of a horse and says "VOLL MUTH"...
10. Various stuff incl. play money and imitation coins. The imitation Swedish 1 öre and 25 öre are TINY!
11. Again, miscellaneous tokens. Most of them are the same on both sides, except the bottom left, which appears to be a Soviet "cherry token"!
12. A couple of crappy metal discs from IKEA and a local car dealer, this Swedish Sparbanken token and what appears to be a button (?) of some sort. No idea how that ended up with me.
13. Stacks of 5, 5, 2 and 2 tokens. First one seems to be a Dutch one, the second one is this Danish Bally token. Third one appears to be this one, and the last one is apparently not on Numista.
14. An assortment of Danish amusement park tokens, bus tokens, electricity tokens etc.
15. 3 Copenhagen tram tokens (which appears to be in the catalogue twice: Here and here), two of these and two of these.
16. Finally, a couple of handfuls of Danish arcade tokens - and one gas token.
Phew. That was quite something to get through, and I don't blame anyone for not bothering to read this post at all. But if anyone did - any advice? Anyone interested in some of them? Anyone still awake?
