The long-awaited second edition of David E. Schenkman's seminal catalog Virginia Tokens is in the works and your help is needed. Since its publication in 1980, many new token discoveries have been made and the new edition hopes to catalog as many confirmed pieces as is possible.

The current plan is for the new edition to be available by the 2015 VNA Convention & Coin Show. You can submit your tokens to Dave Schenkman at dave@turtlehillbanjo.com or to Eric Schena at eschena@hotmail.com. Please provide a clear photo or scan if possible. Be sure to include:

  • Shape
  • Diameter
  • Composition
  • Exact obverse and reverse inscriptions
  • For mavericks, please include how the token was attributed.

In addition, a table will be set up to collect information on tokens currently not listed in the 1980 edition at the 56th Annual Virginia Numismatic Association Convention & Coin Show to be held September 25-28, 2014 at the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center.

Help contribute to the Commonwealth's token history - submit your unlisted tokens!
