Latin American Tokens

Thousands of tokens -- mostly workplace tallies -- were once issued throughout Latin America. Modern collectors treasure these items, but identification and valuation can be a challenge. Now, in one English-language volume, collectors and dealers will find all the information they need to assist them in their token collecting from the Mexican border to the southern tip of South America. Retail prices in up to four grades of condition, thousands of clear photographs, background notes and a comprehensive index make attributing these tokens a snap for those unfamiliar with the languages of Latin America.The catalog covers the period of haciendas, mines, mills and docks from 1700 to 1920 for most of Latin America, and up to 1960 for the West Indies. Expanded considerably from the first edition and featuring completely revised pricing, this volume is the essential guide to profitable token collecting.
