bill Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 For collectors of tokens and medals, TAMS is the organization. Their journal, published six times a year, relates great stories about exonumia and history as well as providing a reference service for mavericks. The organization publishs catalogs and reference works and sponsors literary awards to encourage research and publication. They haven't had much of a presence on the web, but that is changing: Token and Medal Society The aims of TAMS are: * To promote and stimulate the study of tokens and medals * To cultivate fraternal collector relations * To encourage research and articles and recordings pertaining thereto * To disperse information and knowledge in a society journal * To advance interest and prestige * To promote meetings at conventions * To promote and encourage distinct classifications at exhibits * To endeavor to determine values of rarities * To permanently record historical information relating to tokens and medals by publishing original works by members, and by reprinting old works not readily available to average collectors.
