  • Rarity Scale

    The rarity scale ranges from R-1 (very common) to R-10 (unique)

    R-1............... More than 5,000

    R-2............... 2,000 - 5,000

    R-3............... 500 - 2,000

    R-4............... 200 - 500

    R-5............... 75 - 200

    R-6............... 20 - 75

    R-7............... 10 - 20

    R-8............... 5 - 10

    R-9............... 2 - 4

    R-10.............Unique

    Rarity scales are approximates. This summer a Wilmington, Del., dealer had two examples in stock of S.T. Martin's Oh200D-8a token, which Fuld catalogs as unique. The dealer noted that the $275-$300 tokens were really R-9's (2-4 known).
