Well, Tige, one of the best parts of token collecting in my opinion is that you can't just run over to your neighborhood coin dealer and plop your money down and end up with an interesting token collection - like you might be able to do with coins. As I have posted before, most token collectors specialize in certain types or areas. I'd suggest looking in the exonumia category on ePay and getting a feel for what is out there, then starting the search for items in whatever category beeps your pinpointer. There are books on many categories and areas, and it is always a good idea (borrowing a phrase from a famous numismatist) to "buy the book before the coin". I can make recommendations if you have a specific area/interest.

Hi Neighbor. I get my tokens off ebay. Did you no there are Washington state tax tokens? I just browse the tokens on ebay and pick the ones I find interesting. If you want to get a lot at once. Select the Coins & Paper Money category on Ebay and type the words Token and Lot. I just got a Lot in and theres some that I don't want. Email me your address and I'll send them to you.
