    $1.50 in trade tokens

    Well guys, I just got my camera back a few days ago, so from now on, I'll be posting my finds again.

    I found these two trade tags the other day while out hunting with Watercolor when he found his oldest silver.

    I have no clue where their origin is as my searches have not returned anything yet. Maybe someone out here knows.

    Also found a silver Rosie, but after Watercolor found his beauty, I'll just put my Rosie back in my pocket.

    Re: $1.50 in trade tokens

    Those are some awesome tokens!!

    I'd rather find tokens like that instead of a stinkin' silver Rosie
    And how that Rosie got there, will be a mystery for the ages

    Sometime when you get a chance, you need to post a pic of that
    Valentine spoon. . . THAT, was exceptional find

    Really cool tokens!

    Did you find them together, or how far apart?

    Great tokens, Jon!!!

    I wonder what the story is on them....

    You should have posted a pic of the Rosie - he's silver, too!


    Here's a link to a round one from the same place. No other info given, tho.

    Nice finds!
    I love finding tokens just because they really have some history behind them.

    Those are amazing tokens Jon. Very unusual to find those high-value denominations, let alone two in one day!

    Awesome!
