W Va Coins Tell History Of Coalfields
Charleston, W V locales tell how scrip coins record coal camp life. Edward Opie James, a 48 year old insurance agent, collects square and ship-shaped scrip coins used in West Virginia coal towns. The coins show mining firms and company stores, stamped In Trade Now Transfer, once common as advances on wages. The United Mine Workers campaigned to end scrip in WWII, yet coins persist in some towns. James, born 1914 in Carbondale, grew up around coal mines and became a lifelong collector.
