Collectible coins encompass various categories, including numismatic coins, which are valued for their historical significance, rarity, and condition rather than their face value. Tokens, such as merchant tokens, are often issued by businesses for promotional purposes or as a medium of exchange specific to a location and time. In the context of the United States, collectible tokens, including hard rubber merchant tokens from the late 19th century—like those cataloged by Schenkman, a notable reference for token collectors—offer insights into local commerce and societal trends of the era. The 1895 hard rubber merchant tokens are particularly interesting due to their unique materials and the fact that they represent a bygone era in American trade practices.
