Description
Mint State Set of Alaskan "Bingles"
A set of Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation Tokens from 1935, one cent through ten dollars, grading MS 60 to MS 63. Each coin is attractive for the issue and the set is housed in a custom Capital type plastic holder. These tokens were issued by the federal government for the use of the colonists of the Matanuska Valley Colonization Project, who were settled in the area from the Midwest. The "Bingles," as these tokens were called, circulated for only about six months during 1935-1936, after which they were redeemed for federal currency and destroyed. Approximately 200 Uncirculated sets were preserved for presentation purposes, and most surviving high grade examples come from this source.Auction Info
