CO. - CURRIE, NEV.' Description DURING THE PERIOD BETWEEN 1857 THROUGH 1928 THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF MONEY IN THE DEVELOPING TOWNS OF NEVADA.  DIFFERENT ESTABLISHMENTS IN THESE TOWNS ISSUED THEIR OWN MONEY KNOWN AS "NEVADA TRADE TOKENS" AND THE MERCHANTS TURNED THE USE OF TOKENS  AS A MEANS OF MAKING CHANGE. THIS TOKEN COMES FROM THAT PERIOD AND IS FROM GOSHUTE MER. CO., GOOD FOR 5c IN TRADE, CURRIE, NEVADA (ELKO COUNTY).  IT HAS A 6mm HOLE IN THE CENTER. MOST ALL TOKENS ARE RECOVERED BY DIGGING THEM UP AND DEPENDING   ON THEIR DIFFERENT COMPOSITIONS AND THEIR REACTION TO PARTICULAR MINERALS IN THE SOILS, SOMETIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO GENTLY CLEAN THEM TO BE ABLE TO READ THEM.   AS WITH ALL COLLECTIBLES, EACH PIECE IS VALUED ACCORDING TO DEMAND, RARITY AND PERSONAL ATTACHMENT, THEY ARE TRULY A PIECE OF HISTORY.  UNLIKE U.S. COINS, TO OBTAIN "GHOST TOWN TOKENS" IT TOOK A LOT OF HARD WORK AND DIGGING TO  OBTAIN THESE TOKENS TO OFFER TO THE PUBLIC COLLECTORS.  PLEASE RELY ON THE PICTURES FOR THE CONDITION OF THE TOKEN BEFORE BIDDING, I WILL RESPOND TO ALL QUESTIONS.     Place a Bid!
