    I'd guess the mid to late 1800's.....I have a store card from 1863 I found...and it looks real similar. You just said the other night that you have never dug a token like I described...CONGRATS!! Thanks again for the trip to the sports field as well!! HAD A BLAST!!

    Thanks man. I'd like to dig one dated, like yours. I was checking out CW tokens from Michigan on ePay tonite, YOWZA! They are not cheap!

    Nice fine. My guess would be early 1900's. I think they would call that a Maverick token because there's no name on it.

    Not mid 1800's. More like early 1900's by design. Known as a maverick token. Likely teens but the oldest I would say is 1890's. Nice find either way.
