Dug up a couple sweet Tokens today+

Hi all,I dug up a couple Tokens today and $5.05 in clad...HH

Very nice ones. I recently found out that some tokens are more valuable than the silver we find sometimes. I found a 1996 Chuck E Cheese token and was amazed to see that one exactly like it was selling in e-bay for $14

Let's keep finding them

Those are some nice finds...tokens are always sweet things to find.....

Cyberborikua......don't use E-bay as a standard to place a value on a token. Lots of people who dont have a clue of a tokens value will try to sell on Ebay with a price that will never sell. Chuckie Cheese tokens are only collected by a small group of people, the ones with the town on them are worth a little bit more, I never seen a Chuckie Cheese token that was worth $14.00. They're only a couple of bucks at most.....

You misinterpreted my comment, I'm not using ebay as a standard to place value on anything. Nobody should be that naive to think that people selling in ebay know what they are doing. I'm just saying that you can find those tokens selling for XX prices in ebay. If they have that value or not is irrelevant because when true collectors really want or need a piece of whatever they are collecting, they may be willing to pay what is asked or negotiate around it. I made a mistake in typing the price of the 1996 CEC token. I saw it for $4, not $14. My apologies for the confusion.

Since you haven't seen CEC tokens sold for more than a few bucks, here is a page from a CEC collector discussing about CEC token prices and using E-bay as a reference.

The following is a website devoted to CEC collectibles. The second item is a token sold for over $30:
