Question
Hi! I have inherited 2 Alabama sales tax tokens with a number 5 on them; 3 AL luxury tax tokens with a number 1 on them and 1 MS sales tax token with a number 5 on it. Could you please tell me what they were used for and approximately what year- and also what they might be worth. I am interested in selling them. Thank you!
Hi Stephanie, here are a couple links that explain their purpose, history and scarcity:
