STRIKING GOLD IN ALASKA:MAKING TOKENS FROM PLACER GOLD, 8TH. EDITION, 2025.
298 pages, 9 inches by 6 inches, fully illustrated with B&W photos. This is a complete text book. See six pages of table of contents for details. A (nearly) complete catalogue of the gold tokens from 70+ sources that I have made is given. Also included is information on each of these sources (creeks, rivers, prospects, mines, etc.). Tokens in silver and copper are also included. This book details what I have been doing since the 7th (2021) edition, with about 17 new sources of gold. The information in this book can be applied to any minting project and does not require placer gold. Dick adds: "Non-eBay prices are $30 via priority mail, $25 via media mail. I am trying to sell the 1st through 7th editions on eBay for $60. Non-eBay price is $50, shipped via priority mail."
