    Does anybody know where I can find an MV OPA token? It is the last OPA that I need to complete the collection. Though it will be expensive, I still want to purchase one.

    Thanks in advance.

    OPA token = Office of Price Administration, WWII

    MV is the two letter code on the center of the cardboard token. It is the rarest of the tokens and the only one worth more than about a dollar.

    I can't find one either

    I have a medicine bottle of them around somewhere, I will look when I get a chance and see if there is an MV in the bottle.

    Many OPA tokens yes, many MV tokens no.

    I think the pices they are asking on ebay are probably too high. When I started collecting OPA tokens there were only about 24 MV's known. Now they estimate there are over 200 of then. I only paid about $100 each for my two pieces. (I have two full sets of tokens, one circ the other Unc.)
