Introduction by the Author

My late friend, Ken Lowe, collected personal tokens. He appreciated the people who produced these tokens
and appreciated the tokens as associated items. He also believed such tokens were often underappreciated by dealers
and enjoyed searching for them on the bourse floor.
It was Lowe’s goal to some day produce a sale catalog with a title like, “Personal Tokens of Numismatists
Illustrated by the Ken Lowe Collection.” Unfortunately he did not live to fulfill this dream.
I also collect personal tokens of numismatists as an appreciation of their contributions to the hobby. Originally
I had the elitist view that I would only collect tokens from “important” numismatists such as those listed in my book,
American Numismatic Biographies. Gradually I expanded the collection as I realized that many people make
important contributions to local clubs and specialized organizations who would not qualify for inclusion in my book.
Every collector chooses items to include in their collection. Other items may be excluded because they don’t
appeal to the collector, were not available to the collector, were unknown to the collector or their cost exceeded the
value to the collector.
This is an attempt to document tokens and medals that honor American numismatists. It is also a record of the
collection I assembled.

Criteria for Inclusion

What is Personal? The item should include the first and last name of an individual. In some cases an initial or
initials appears on the item without full name. Items issued for family members are also included. In some cases
pieces issued under a pseudonym are also listed.
Exclusions: Items with just a first name (Bob’s Coins) are excluded.

What is a Token? In numismatics, a token should be “worth” something. A broader definition includes tokens
as a “keepsake.” As it applies here, a token is typically given free to other hobbyists or business associates.

What is a Medal? Typical medals are issued by numismatic organizations to honor a member and may be sold
to other members. Some medals were produced for sale to collectors. Often a few medals were struck in gold or
silver for presentation purposes. Although these may not be available to the public, their descriptions are included.

Exclusions: The U.S. Mint struck medals for Directors of the Mint and a few others. Although these people
were important to the production of coins they don’t qualify as students of numismatics.

What is American? The piece should be for a numismatist with an American address. Some pieces are
included for non-Americans when the piece references an American event. (convention, election)

What is a Numismatist? The person should be a member of a numismatic organization or the item should
make some reference to a collecting interest. Other items that do not mention numismatics may be included to
complete a series.

The American Vecturist Association gave this criteria for listing their tokens: “the token must bear the name of
a former or present A.V.A. member, and must be made of plastic or metal (no wooden items will be listed). Not
listed are items which were struck in quantities of less than ten pieces, as such artificial rarities in no way could
qualify as calling cards.” The AVA occasionally revised this criteria. Although this listing includes wooden pieces
and members of any numismatic organization, our concept is similar.
In 2006 the AVA criteria was modified to require some reference to the AVA or related collecting interests.
New pieces are excluded that would have been listed under previous guidelines. In 2009 the Personal Tokens of
Vecturists catalog was revised to delist hundreds of previously listed tokens. These include “Good For” tokens and
others that don’t make reference to the AVA. Delisted tokens may qualify under a new classification of Member
Tokens.

The AVA listing includes pieces for members living in Canada, other foreign countries and some organizations
(NEVA, ULATCO). These pieces are not listed here. Some questionable pieces that do not meet our criteria may be
listed because they are on the AVA list and complete a personal series.

British collectors use the term “private tokens” for pieces going back at least to the time of provincial tokens
and a piece struck for David Alves Rebello in 1795. Canadian collectors call them “numismatists’ tokens” going
back to pieces struck for Dr. LeRoux in 1885. More recent Canadian pieces are called “personalised medals.”

Disclaimer: This document contains 1,305,000 characters of text providing at least a million opportunities for a
typographical error. Errors may occur in reading an item or in transcribing text from another reference. Also the
original reference may be in error. When examining a piece that appears slightly different from this description,
consider a typographical error as the probable cause.

Counting a collection: How many do you have? Each collector may choose to count differently. Here are some
of the problems.
1. In some cases two or more people are named equally on an item. These may be listed under each name so one
item has two listings.
2. Many woods are printed on standard reverses. One person may order all pieces struck with the standard Indian
head reverse. Another may order a mixture of Indian and buffalo reverses. Occasionally there is an unintentional
mixture of reverses used. A collector may legitimately collect one example of the press run while another may want
one example of each reverse.
3. Plastic pieces are issued in many colors. While one collector may be content with one example of the item,
another may want all the color variations.
4. Elongated coins are typically run on current coins that help date the issue. Artificial rarities can be created by
running mixed dates or a few pieces with an odd date. Other rarieties are created by rolling higher denomination
coins, foreign coins or tokens.
5. Frequently the early medals were produced in several metals. Some were limited editions to create rarity. A
collector may choose what to collect.

History

There were few coin collectors in the United States before 1858. They collected independently, without the
support of professional dealers, other collectors, clubs or reference publications. Since the purpose of personal
tokens is to share these with other collectors, there would be none until there was a thriving numismatic community.

1858
Several things happened in 1858 to establish numismatics as a popular hobby in America. The small Flying
Eagle cent replaced the large cent and people tried to collect the old familiar cents before they disappeared.
Numismatic reference works were published by Hickox (A Historical Account of American Coinage), Mickley
(Dates of United States Coins and Their Rarity), Bushnell (An Arrangement of Tradesmen’s Cards) and in 1859 by
Dickeson (The American Numismatic Manual). In 1858 the American Numismatic and Antiquarian Society was
formed in New York City.

1859-1860
Numismatic communities were forming that allowed collectors to trade with dealers and with each other. A
few dealers issued store cards to promote their business among their clients. Those issuing tokens in 1859 include
Edward Cogan, John K. Curtis, William Idler, and Augustus B. Sage. These are the earliest pieces that qualify as
personal tokens of American numismatists.
In 1859 Sage began production of an ambitious series of tokens honoring those he perceived as prominent
numismatists. He probably overestimated their popularity and dropped the series in favor of other topics for his
tokens.
In 1860 additional dealer store cards were issued by Ezra Hill, Joseph Levick and Morgan Marshall
After an initial rush of production, this specialty area went into it’s first dormant period.

1861-1865
During the American Civil War, thousands of tokens were issued as emergency coinage and were eagerly
saved by collectors. Morgan Marshall continued to issue tokens during this period. New dealers appearing in the
hobby include Robert Downing, Henry D. Gerdts and S. H. Zahm. Many diesinkers produced these new tokens and
a few issued storecards promoting their business. Diesinker tokens were issued by Joseph Merriam in Boston. (and
4
more) John Adams Bolen issued slightly larger tokens in the same period. Alfred Robinson who published patriotic
envelopes during the war, issued his first token in 1867.

1876
Many tokens and other collectibles were issued to commemorate the centennial of American independence in
1876. A few more dealers issued store cards including John W. Kline, H. G. Sampson and George B. Soley. More
tokens were issued by John Walter Scott in the 1870’s.
Pieces issued from 1859 to 1876 represent few individuals. However, there are many different pieces, many
varieties of metals used and many rare mulings created. This indicates that there was a strong market driving their
production. Tokens from this era continue to be collected with strong prices indicating collector demand.
Many of the early dealer storecards included George Washington as part of their design. Washington tokens
were a hot field. It is likely that many early collectors wanted these pieces to add to their Washington collections
more than to add to their collections of personal tokens. Even in the modern era, the price of Washington pieces is
likely to be stronger than a similar dealer storecard without Washington.

1877-1900
This was a dormant period for American dealer storecards. The tokens were yet to catch on with collectors.
The first Canadian “numismatist’s tokens” were struck with more than 20 produced between 1885 and 1893.
During this period some of the larger numismatic organizations struck large medals to honor their founders,
presidents and prominent members. The ANS struck a medal for former president Charles Anthon in 1885.

1902
A letter to The Numismatist suggested that collectors exchange tokens.

“Sarnia, Ont., Canada, May 20th., 1902.
Geo. F. Heath, Esq., Monroe, Mich.
My Dear Sir:
It has been suggested to me by several of the members of our Association that it would be pleasant and perhaps
advantageous to our members if each would have a metallic card struck, with name, address and specialty, if
desired, and an exchange of cards had with the several members. It certainly would form a very desirable collection
of pieces, quite by itself - bring the members more into contact with each other and make a much stronger feeling of
interest in numismatic affairs, at least that is the way it appears to me. The expenses for the operation would be light
and the collection so formed should fully repay any such expense in the increased interest created. I am quite sure
the members on this side of the line would do their share. Kindly think this over and if you think well of it you may
see your way to advocate it in the next issue of the Numismatist.
Fraternally Yours,
W. T. Smith, Box 338.”

In the July, 1902, issue of The Numismatist was a full page ad placed by J. K. Cranston of Galt, Onterio,
Canada. The ad stated, “COLLECTORS OF COINS / AND BUSINESS PEOPLE . Would do well to have a special
coin of their own struck off. Below you will / find price list. It pays to advertise with coins.”
Also shown were stock dies in six sizes that might be used as reverses. Although some collectors produced
personal tokens through Cranston, These stock dies were apparently not used.

W. T. Smith was Canadian and promised participation on his “side of the line.” In subsequent issues of The
Numismatist, about 50 Canadian personal tokens were described. Most were issued by collectors rather than dealers.
A few personal tokens were listed for American collectors including George Burfeind, and C. S. Stiles. In 1902
Thomas Elder issued the first of a long series of dealer store cards, personal tokens, political pieces and other
commemorative tokens.

1904-1913
Farran Zerbe issued a personal token in 1904 for distribution at the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
Waldo Moore issued his first personal token in 1908 a decade before becoming ANA president. Canadian
“numismatist tokens” enterred a dormant period after several were issued in 1907.
The New York Numismatic Club has issued a medal for each president since the club was formed in 1908. The
Rochester Numismatic Association also issued a series of presidential medals dating back to 1913.
5
1920’s, 1930’s, 1940’s
An occasional piece was issued during these years that qualifies as a personal token. The California Coin Club
launched a series of medals honoring numismatists. The Bronx Coin Club issued a medal for their 50th meeting that
named their first president and just qualifies as a personal medal. Interest soon faded. It was a dormant period for
numismatics and for personal tokens.

1950’s
A few encased cents are dated 1959 indicating a gradual increase in interest using this form for personal
tokens. Canadian pieces were produced again in 1950 after a long dormant period.

1960’s
Many encased cents are dated 1961 and 1962 indicating their popularity during this period. Metal tokens were
struck for AVA members beginning in 1963. Wooden nickels began to appear around the middle of the decade. A
few elongated cents were produced in 1967 indicating the start of their popularity for personal tokens.

1970’s
The production of personal tokens peaked around the middle of the decade. Many pieces were issued with
some reference to the Bicentennial of American independence.
Most plastic tokens are not dated. A piece issued by Joseph Allis for the 1972 ANA-AVA convention would be
among the early ones. Tokens from the 70’s were 38 mm or smaller.
The Patrick Mint issued 1331 tokens between 1976 and 1979. About 300 of these qualify as personal tokens.
During the late 1970’s, the price of silver rose dramatically and one-ounce silver bars became a collector’s
item. A few of these collectors used the silver bar form for personal medals.

1980’s
The early 80’s saw the proliferation of the 41mm plastic token. Many were issued for special events such as
the 1983 AVA convention and the 1984 Olympics. A few encased coins were inserted in plastic rounds or
rectangles.
The Association of Personalized Medal Issuers (APMI) was organized on December 8, 1984, by Jerry Remick,
another Canadian. (discussed later) Rather than representing an expansion for the specialty of personal tokens, the
formation of APMI marked the end of the era of greatest production.

1990’s
A few new pieces were issued each year in the standard forms of metal tokens, elongated cents and wooden
items. A second series of tokens were issued by the Patrick Mint.
Around 1998, prepaid phone cards were promoted as a collectible field. A few numismatic dealers issued cards
with their name. One piece issued by Art Kagin reproduced his personal token on his phone card. This specialty
came and went quickly without gaining broad acceptance in numismatics.

2000’s
Collectors wanting a struck metal token frequently chose the Patrick Mint with their second series offered with
several standard reverses. A few include e-mail or web site URL’s as part of their address. Several collectors issued
encased coins with state quarters. Very few encased cents were included with mirrors. New items are still issued as
plastic tokens, elongated cents and wood rounds.
The Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club (CC&GTCC) emerged during 2000-2009 as trading and
collecting personal chips became popular. An estimated thousand personal chips were issued during the decade.

Research Value

I believe there is a value in recording these pieces for numismatic research. Patterns may be seen that indicate
when certain kinds of items were popular. Following are some things that may be learned from personal tokens and
medals.

1. Many personal pieces show home addresses and phone numbers.
2. Dated pieces may show the years a collector was active in the hobby.
6
3. Many pieces indicate club affiliations and membership numbers.
4. Some pieces indicate an office held and the term in office.
5. Some pieces indicate birthdates, anniversaries or dates of death.
6. Pieces may name spouses and children.
7. Some personal pieces indicate numismatic business affiliations.
8. Collectors may issue pieces for their non-numismatic businesses or affiliations.
9. The messages on pieces may provide a clue to personality or sense of humor.
10. Pieces may have political or religious messages.
11. Where else could you learn 20 things that happened on September 17?

In its digital format, the author did occasional searches for the name of a city or a membership number.
Sometimes fragments of information on two pieces may be combined for better understanding and tokens can be
matched to their issuers.

Past Publications and Sources

In 1903 Albert Romer Frey began a series of articles on “The Tokens and Medals Relating to Numismatics and
Coin Dealers” for The Numismatist. The articles were dominated by Canadian pieces and incomplete for American
issues.
The American Vecturist Association publishes a list of tokens produced for members. These include about
1700 pieces that qualify for inclusion here. These are listed by membership number and include all types of metal
and plastic tokens. Early lists were printed on paper with later lists offered on computer disk.
In 2007 Don Mutersbaugh published The Mutersbaugh Valuation Catalogue of A.V.A. Personal and Member
Tokens. This introduced the concept of AVA Member Tokens to include items that were not included in the AVA
catalog of Personal Tokens. This author provided many listings for the Mutersbaugh catalog.
Personal tokens are included in specialized catalogs for Civil War Tokens, dealer storecards, elongated coins,
encased coins, Patrick Mint tokens and tax tokens. A complete list of these sources is included in the bibliography.

A Club for Collectors?

On December 8, 1984, Jerry Remick organized The Personalized Medal Issuers Association (PMIA). Later the
name was changed to The Association of Personalized Medal Issuers (APMI). They published “The Personalized
Medalist” beginning in 1985. This offered information on new issues. This was dominated by pieces struck by
Pressed Metal Products of Vancouver with many dies designed by Serge Huard. In 1986 they listed 34 Canadian
issuers but only three Americans. The newsletter listed few pieces issued by non-members. Many issues of the
newsletter included free medals.
The Personalized Medalist was published quarterly from 1985 until at least 1994. In that year the APMI
directory listed 90 members. Only 25 of those lived in the United States with eight of those living in Maryland.
Among the American members who issued medals were David T. Alexander, John Coffee, Robert A. Gardner,
Robert Gilbert, Phil Greenslet, Barbara Hyde, Clifton Temple, John Temple and Fred Zinkann.
Undoubtedly more personalized medals were produced for American collectors. However, in proportion to
their population, Canadians have produced more.

An ad in The Fare Box of September 1985 stated, “The Personal Token Collectors Society is in the process of
cataloging personal token issues.” Apparently Robert Johnson was behind this effort. He stopped listing his tokens
through the AVA in favor of listing through PTCS.

Format Conventions

The side with a personal name is always listed first as if this is the obverse. In some cases this will not agree
with listings in other publications.

Listings follow conventions used in similar publication. Capitalization and punctuation follow the form on the
item. A slash (/) designates separation of lines on the legend. A double slash (//) indicates separation of legend on
the obverse and reverse (front and back) of the piece. Parenthesis ( ) indicate a description of illustrations or logos.
Brackets [ ] indicate catalog numbers in related reference works. An asterisk (*) indicates a star in the legend
7
(although usually a five-pointed star). Lines and dots on a piece that cannot be represented by typed characters are
usually omitted from a description.

Date of Issue

In general, dated pieces are assumed to be issued in the year that appears on the token. Elongated coins are
usually issued on current coins. Encased cents are assumed to be issued on the date that appears on the coin.
Encased state quarters may be issued after the date on the coin.
Pieces issued by members of the AVA and published in The Fare Box may be dated by the date of publication.
The author collected many pieces at the time of issue and recorded the date of their appearance.

Rarity

In 1974 a personal medal was struck with 200 pieces issued. As I purchased several collections, I acquired
three of these. Then in 2004 I bought a collection that included 150 unissued remainders of this piece. I found that I
had 154 of the 200 pieces issued. It appears that 50 pieces were enough to satisfy collector demand in 1974 with
little interest for the remainders in 2004.
Artificial rarities are created to increase collector demand and perceived value. Often pieces are struck in
several different metals. Printed pieces are issued in different colors. Elongated coins are rolled on different host
coins. There are thousands who will take a personal token for free but apparently few who will pay much for an
artificial rarity.
Some dealers distribute their storecards to many customers. Only a small percentage of these may find their
way to a serious collector. Some collectors issue pieces for trade and a high percentage find their way to collectors.
Some pieces were sold reducing the sphere of distribution.
Some numismatists issue personal tokens or medals to promote a non-numismatic business or other interest.
Such pieces may be more difficult to find for a collector.
Factors affecting supply, demand and rarity:
1. The number of pieces produced.
2. The number of pieces distributed.
3. Cost, if any.
4. Distribution to collectors or freeloaders.
5. Distribution to non-numismatists.
6. Crossover interest in other fields.

A Registry Set

In 2005-09 there is wide promotion of “Registry Sets” certified by the grading services. Currently no company
is certifying the grade of personal tokens. (Some metal pieces listed in another reference have been certified.) I
believe this collection is the most extensive collection of personal tokens currently in existence and probably the
most complete ever assembled.

Building the Collection

Formation of the collection began at the 1996 ANA convention with the purchase of two groups of ninteenth
century tokens. Over the next few years, pieces were added as singles or small groups purchased from exonumia
dealers. During this time the scope was limited to dealers and collectors perceived to be “important.”
Much of the collection came through the acquisition of large groups of tokens or collections formed by others.
The first group included more than 2000 plastic tokens purchased from Steven Ratliff in 2001 after his ad in the
TAMS Journal. Other collections followed:
1. An AVA token group from Bill Garrison in 2002.
2. The personal token collection of George Cuhaj in 2002.
3. A large group of encased cents from Bryan Ryker in 2002.
4. The personal token collection of William Murray.
5. Thousands of wood rounds and wood flats from Darrell Luedtke in 2002 and 2014.
6. Hundreds of elongated coins from Ray Dillard.
7. Hundreds of elongated coins from dealer Douglas Fairbanks in 2003-6.
8
8. About 500 Patrick Mint tokens from Ray Dillard in 2004.
9. A small group including 50 RNA presidential medals from dealer Bob Slawsky in 2004.
10. More than 1500 AVA tokens from the collection of Joel Reznick in 2004.
11. A group of PNC’s and other similar items from Ray Dillard in 2008.
12. A group of CC&GTCC personal chips from Archie Black in 2009.
13. The CC&GTCC collection of Gene Trimble in 2017 including duplicates.
A few pieces were acquired at auction. Several of these are medals struck for numismatic organizations. In
general, personal tokens are not considered valuable enough to offer at auction.
Some pieces were acquired as they were issued. These include the Conder Token Collectors club medals and
the Civil War Token Collectors Hall of Fame. Other club medals were acquired shortly after issue while still in
stock.
During the period of 1997 to 2008 the collector travelled to annual ANA conventions and picked up new
pieces as they were offered. In 2004 travel to shows became more frequent with trips to the major shows around the
country. Current issues were acquired at these shows.
Thousands of searches were done for tokens on e-Bay. Although the number of purchases was not large,
several pieces were acquired that were previously unknown.

Completeness

As of 2009, this collection includes about 7200 of 8097 or 88.9% of the known personal tokens and medals.
No new 19th century pieces have been discovered that are not listed in the Rulau catalog. The Patrick Mint tokens
are well documented. Elongated coins from some producers are documented. What else exists that is not reported?
In 2008 the collection included 949 wood flats. Then 150 more were acquired at the ANA convention from one
source. Gaps remain in numbered series. It is likely that hundreds or even thousands of older pieces are not
recorded.
New plastic tokens and woods continue to show up in quantities that suggest many remain unreported. New
pieces are produced and discovered or reported almost every month. It is likely that many new pieces have been
missed.

Values

Valuations for most of the nineteenth century tokens can be found in Rulau’s Standard Catalog of United
States Tokens 1700-1900. Many dealers offer these tokens at prices consistant with the Rulau catalog.
Values of tokens are given in Tokens and Medals A Guide to the Identification and Values of United States
Exonumia by Alpert / Elman. They suggest that token collectors personal tokens are worth $.35 to $1. In my
opinion, in 2004 these values are too low. These are probably close to dealer buying prices.
Personal tokens are scattered through Jaeger’s 2008 A Guide Book of United States Tokens and Medals. In
general, valuations suggest high retail prices. Pieces may often be obtained at levels below these prices.
Values may be influenced by the interest of collectors in other fields. An example would be the medals struck
for presidents of local coin clubs. If there is strong local interest, these may bring high prices locally and will
infrequently appear on the national market. If more pieces exist than the local collectors desire, they may be cheap
on the national market.
I attended the 1977 National Scout Jamboree in Pennsylvania. Later I was excited to find an example of the
“Pontoon Pass” issued by George Cuhaj and paid a strong price for it. (strong for a personal token) This piece does
not show a streetcar and might be considered a 50 cent token to another AVA member. This piece is listed in Rudy
Dioszegi’s Scouting Exonumia with a 1985 value of $7.00 in XF condition. It’s value as a scouting item far exceeds
its value as an AVA member item.
In 2003 there were probably more collections of personal tokens available for sale than collectors assembling
collections. Large groups of tokens may sell for low prices. Still some dealers offer individual pieces at considerably
higher prices. A collector must decide if he will pay the price or wait for another opportunity at a lower price.
Many groups of elongated coins and plastic tokens are available at prices of $.50 each. Wood rounds and flats
may be available at even lower prices. Individual pieces are often offered at higher rates.
