ARE YOU A COLLECTOR of sales tax tokens? This section is open to both A.T.T.S. members & non-members alike, to help promote our hobby and put collectors in touch with each other. Feel free to post your Want List.
THE NEWEST LISTINGS will always be at the top of the page, with older listings descending.
I am very interested in all Illinois Provisional Tax Tokens. Always looking to expand my collection through buying and trading. I am not as interested in selling any of them, but I could be persuaded to sell to the right collector.
Other than the paper/cardboard issue which I have very few of, I am very interested in Rossville, Mt. Olive, Red Bud, and Livingston. Those are the only metal token which I do not currently own an example.
Even if you don’t have any to sell or trade, I always like to discuss Illinois Tax Tokens with fellow collectors. ([email protected])
Thanks
Any one got a Tazewell L-97C or a Tazewell L-97E for sell ? ( [email protected] )

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled Sales Tax Tokens and Transit Tokens, yearning to breathe in another household, send your unwanted, unneeded, unidentified, your wretched (no culls); to live free in my house, gratis, of course, let them shine again! Okay, I’m not much of a poet, but some of the poets we had to read in school (don’t ask me when that was), didn’t seem like poets, either, but we still had to read them. They will be much appreciated. BTW, the better version is at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Thank You! email: [email protected]

RELATED AREAS OF WANTS
