Obsolete Post Exchange token?

Question

I was left alot of old and foreign colds recently. In them I found a FT Bt. Benjamin Harrison Post Exchange token. I did some research & the fort was closed in 1951. I couldnt however find any info on its value if any. The front has Ft. Benj. Harrison Post exchange & the back is a 5 in the center w/ a small 9 under it. Also here is no date. Any 1 have any idea of value?

Answer 1

I saw one for sale for around $5, I am not sure if it sold at that price. Unlike coins there is actually no price guides for most tokens. A dealer puts it up an at what he thinks it is worth and will usually take a reasonable offer. You have an item with a very small collector base. As much as I dislike eBay it would be the best place to sell it, most coin dealers have no buyers for it and would offer you little. Post exchange tokens are a part of Americana are are interesting items. I have a couple from my Vietnam war days. This is the best I can do for you.
