Regarding you 'Good For' Token -

I have 2 Different References. Harry F Campbell, Tokens Of Utah, 3rd Edition 1987, and H. Robert Campbell's (not related) Utah Trade Tokens, 1998.

A little history from Tokens of Utah - In 1880, James M Peterson was superintendent of the Workingman's Co-opertive General Merchandise in Richfield. By 1884, he became knwon as James M. Peterson Incorporated. By 1886 , he also ran the Exchange Bank in Richfield with himself as President. In 1898, hs son, James M. Peterson, Jr. was bookkeeper in the bank and later became it's president. James M. Peterson Sr. died in 1899. The Peterson familycontinued the merchantile and banking business into the 1930's. The Workingman's Store was operated into 1900 and was run by E.C. Peterson, Supr.

Token - Round, Brass, 24mm

Obverse: J.M. PETERSON & CO. MERCHANTS * RICHFIELD UTAH

Reverse: GOOD FOR 10 IN MERCHANDISE

Harry Campbell has it listed as a rarity of HR10 (1 token of this type has been seen), $130-160.

UTAH TRADE TOKENS, a much newer reference, has it listed as a rarity of 'E", or Extremely Rare (1-3 pieces have been seen) and a price of $50-70.

The price of trade tokens has much to do with the City or County that they are from and type of establishment it represents. Saloon tokens, Territorial Tokens and such are very collectable and often demand very high prices. Some tokens are 'cool' because of their shape, the history behind the establishment, or perhaps a picture on the front or back. In Utah, trade tokens with a picture of the Mormon Temple are highly sought after and run several hundred dollars each.

Nice Find. :thumbup:

I have a reference book on Wyoming Trade Tokens and Nevada Trade Tokens as well if anybody has a token sitting in their drawer they don't know what to do with.
