I am sorry to have to miss this. I had no idea that there was such a
club. Western tokens (and Western numismatica and exo-n) are
compelling. I never saw one I did not like.

It is a good show (if I say so myself). I usually run out of money...

WESTS also meets for informal swapping at a few Northern California
coin shows. The next one is Noon, Nov 9, 2003 at the Peninsula Coin
Club Show, Napredak Hall, 770 Montague Expressway, San Jose, CA.

It is a good coin show, but it is the Jamboree that is really fun.

Interesting Website. I see that you have "The Old Streets of San
Francisco, Early Street Names on Some Brass Tokens" by Jerry F.
Schimmel for sale. References like that are really important.

I like vectures, myself. We think of "money" as being a tangible like
gold or silver. What I like about transportation tokens is that they
monetize a SERVICE. It is a subtle and powerful concept, when you
think about it.
