Cool tokens. I also like to pick these out of dealer's bins. Most of the time I find them in junk or foreign bins. The most I have paid is about $2. Typically I get them for less than $1. It was surprising to heard you say $100. They aren't Civil War era tokens or Storecard tokens. Is there a big difference between the ones you picked up versus the CWTs?
When it come to trade tokens there are a few things that can make them valuable. Rarity, subject and location. Many collectors try to collect "towns" so they'll try to get a token from as many towns in a state as they can. So the Gold Beach tokens being fairly rare and the only token with the town and state on it makes them valuable. CWTs are a totally different beast. I haven't really dove into the market for them.
Another great video.
