This type of fantasy token came out during the runup to the US bicentennial. Prior to that the price was assorted lots at about 25 cents each and shipping. They reached a high of $12 each in 1976 and have now dropped down to about a buck apiece. I sold a large collection of all fakes and told the man they were fakes in 1976 for $6 each. Then and now the maker was in England. He also makes fake marshall badges.
As a general rule a genuine cathouse or bawdy token will not use dirty language. They may be suggestive or have a cut out heart on them. Some of them had rebus inscriptions (picture puzzles) regards, siegfried schlagrule
