Inhaltsangabe

COMMUNION TOKENS reflects upon an era when tightly knit communities were bound to the land with a church steeple at its center. These were hard times when aching backs scraped a livelihood from rocky soil and tired fingers wove cloth. These diminutive bits of lead and tin were part of this history, a yearning for salvation. They were used by the early Presbyterian Church to mark probity and allow admittance to the most sacred of Christian sacraments. It is no wonder that Communion Tokens were highly coveted, then, as now. COMMUNION TOKENS presents a rewarding challenge for those interested in the formative history of the reformation church in Scotland, Canada and the United States. This guidebook will pique your curiosity and get you started on a collecting adventure. You will learn about: How these tokens were made and used by the church. The wide variety of tokens produced and how they evolved. Reference books that have cataloged them over time. The marketplace and values of tokens. Strategies for storing & protecting your tokens.
