Is this still good? Token from Laramie, WY

Now, is this thing still good?!!??

I'm wondering . . . is that a piece of APPLE PIE, or whut?

Found by a buddy in our club. It's a real token from the 1920s.

I'm not going to guess what it is, but it's a nice one. HH.....

That's a pretty interesting find. Just to get off track but not too far, is that $2.00 or $200.00? I don't know if I would want a $2 piece of apple pie and $200 ought to buy the whole thing. Far as I'll go. Neat find, though.

Well, that's just $2.00, which would be cheap even in the currency of the 1920s.
As one officer noted:

The ranch was described by U.S. Army Lieutenant John Gregory Bourke:

"... tenanted by as hardened and depraved set of witches as could be found on the face of the globe. It [was] a rum mill of the worst kind [with] half a dozen Cyprians, virgins whose lamps were always burning brightly in expectancy of the coming of the bridgegroom, and who lured to destruction the soldiers of the garrison. In all my experience I have never seen a lower, more beastly set of people of both sexes."

Yeah Sonny, it's still good but you better hurry if you want to cash in!

 

[Tank69]

I bet if they are still around if they wouldnt let you cash it in they might be willing to give a nice little pay check to have a ""piece"" of their history back .

PERFECT selection of a photo there, Packer . . .

Now it's gonna take about a DECADE to get THAT disgusting idea out of my head!
