Oh man I am pumped. My hunting partner sure outdid me good this time!! We hit a couple sites and were doing ok, I got a 52 Rosie and some wheats, Oldschool had gotten a nice tag and 1904 Indian, then as it got dark and we were walking to the truck........Oldschool digs one last signal, and Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe it!! A 25 cent sutler from the Civil War 3rd Michigan Calvary. I don't know exactly how rare these are, but I think they are pretty scarce. And I believe Michigan only had one sutler token. Hopefully someone will know more and fill us in. Thanks and HH. Dan

Interesting! I have seen and dug many CW tokens, but never seen one worth 25cents. That was a lot of money back then.
I know a token expert, I will see what I can find out for you.
