There is no intrinsic value in a token - value can only be determined at a single point in time when a sale is made between a willing seller and a willing buyer, each of whom have some knowledge of what they are dealing with. Estimates of value are just that: estimates. Books with estimated values in them are just the opinion of an author at some point in time. And, since this particular token is not shown in the current OK book, the best estimate we have is for the 5¢ token from the same issuer that is in the book. So, archer, if you are looking for "payday" please report back how you made out. And, out of curiosity, are you going to get the buyers out of the woods by using the popular online auction site based in California? Even though I don't really like that outfit, I use it because it is really the only place online that gets lots of willing sellers and willing buyers together.
