For sale,  a BEAUTIFUL.....ANTIQUE CIRCA 1930'S.....TOTAL GHOST TOWN SITE (ONLY MERCHANT LISTED FOR "RIO TINTO") BOOKS VERY HIGH AS LISTED  IN THE OLDER 1990 ICONIC NEVADA TOKEN CATALOG BY DUNN, SCHILLING AND HOSKINS...CATALOG Rd-1b a nice trade  token once used as "GOOD FOR 50C IN TRADE" at the "PLAND - EVANS (surrounded by wreath)"  in the   ghost town of RIO TINTO, NEVADA

THIS IS A VERY TOUGH TOKEN TOWN.....THE SITE HAS BEEN A "GHOST TOWN" SINCE AROUND 1948.....THIS TOKEN POSSIBLY USED AT MERCANTILE STORE IN THE 1930'S.....THIS WAS A COPPER TOWN LOCATED NOT FAR FROM MOUNTAIN CITY UP NEAR THE IDAHO BORDER.

THERE IS  ONLY 1 MERCHANT THAT ISSUED A TRADE TOKEN FROM "RIO TINTO"....AND "PLAND EVANS" (believe a mercantile store) ISSUED TWO TOKENS, AND THIS 50C VARIETY IS BY FAR THE RAREST (BOOKS $35 IN 1990 CATALOG).....AS CATALOG Rd-1b....THIS HAS BEEN A GHOST TOWN SINCE 1948 !!!

The historic ghost town of Rio Tinto is located in north eastern Nevada... Elko County...just south of the Idaho state line, near Mill Creek and towns of Mountain City and Owyhee Nevada

This is a very attractive old genuine Nevada ghost town saloon token, and I track historic prices, and  have this  token sell for $140 range over the years, plus those silly "buyer fees" some auction houses charge...again, tough to find these ghost town tokens with only a single merchant listed

Trade token is brass metal, round,  about 31mm in diameter, and it has amazing background patina and displays nicely… (please see pictures in gallery) 

Many Nevada tokens are in "dug" condition...this is not cigar box condition  

TOUGH TO FIND CIRCA 1930s  WESTERN GHOST TOWN  USED TOKEN....ONLY 1 DOCUMENTED MERCHANT TOKENS FROM TOWN...SITE HAS BEEN A GHOST TOWN SINCE 1948 once used at the "PLAND - EVANS (believe a general store)" token, once used in historic ghost town of  RIO TINTO, NEVADA

Thanks so much for looking....collect and invest in history!!!!!   Tangible assets are always the best ones.
