Incused token

[nova]

Greetings, I have a Incuse token from Ogden,Utah
I have researched it and found the proprietor's name in the Polk,
Dunn directories. Benjamin Frank Livingston. The Back is blank. The link is from the Ogden,UT Standard Examiner 1887. This was not an easy research either, with some help from Mac. I got put on the right track. Livingston retired the business 4 years later. Mcmanus brothers took it over. He also had a cigar store located in the same place as the pool hall. Anyone out there know what this is worth or a ball park figure? (UPDATE) It's worth $5 to $10 in Mike Gross Billiard token book. No rarity is listed. I personally contacted M.G. via, Email and he said mine was the second one known and there is probably a bunch more out there. Then he offered to buy it (Go Figure).

Re: Incused token value

On Feb. 27, 1891 there was published a Notice of Dissolution; Livingston retired and the McManis brothers (Joseph and John) continued the business under the name (would you believe?) McManis Brothers.

The token is not listed in Bob Campbell's Utah Trade Tokens book or supplements A or B. I'd suggest contacting Bob at his shop, All About Coins, in South Salt Lake City with the information and ask for an estimate.
