One of my favorites from a while back..
I put this on the today's finds but thought you might want a look.. My son and I were where the original courthouse stood in Iroquois county.. Lincoln practiced law there and after some research we found out he worked for this company!! This token is from New York.. Logically, how would a token from New York that Abe worked for end up in a small farming community in Illinois at a courthouse he practiced law at? I can only draw one conclusion.. My son came up with this token with my XTerra 70 at about 7" under a root.. Same eagle as on the seated quarters and halves..I guess you never know!!
