Renniks Australian & New Zealand Token Values Book 1st Edition Hardcover

Format: 127 full-colour, hardcover

Publication Date: 2012

This book is essential to any serious collector of Australian tokens.

The long-awaited price guide to the value of tradesman's tokens issued across Australia and New Zealand has finally been released by Rennik's Lighthouse Publications.

The result is well worth the wait - it includes a range of accurate information; it's very well presented and includes a huge number of high-quality photographs.

Accurate Information

Australia's token series is one of those numismatic areas that has long been the sole domain of very well-researched collectors that know their stuff backwards. Reason being, it's been rather difficult to get easy access to quality information about the technical specifics of the different varieties of Australian tokens - getting accurate information on the rarity of the different types can be just as hard, let alone a systematic overview of market values.

These are the reasons why this price guide has been so keenly anticipated - finally, long-suffering collectors of tradesman's tokens have one guide that gives them a good overall snapshot of the market. It'd be too much to ask for to get a one-stop guidebook that covers each and every aspect of the market to the nth degree, the new price guide by Rennik's is at the very least an excellent starting point from which collectors can work from.

Well Presented

One of the most important aspects of any reference book is the ease of use - the last thing you want is to make it difficult for readers to get the information they're after. The design needs to be neat, tidy and logically structured. Fortunately, this price guide to tokens follow all of the above points - the information on each token is logically structured, and they're all listed in alphabetical order.

High-Quality Photographs

High-quality images for pretty much each and every token in the series have been included - front and back and in actual size. This book could well be the first time that quality images of the entire series of Australian tokens have been made available in one guide.

Essential Buying For Any Collector of Australian Tokens

I reckon that any collector of Australian tradesman's tokens that's been active in the market for any period of time will already have been aware of this project for some time now - newer collectors to the token scene may not have heard of it yet. Regardless of whether you're an old hand or have only ever wondered about them - this book is essential buying for any collector of Australian tokens.
