Found this wonderful saloon token from Tremont Saloon in Telluride. It was the place to be! The bar had quite a history if you google it. Shootings, robberies, a brothel upstairs. I'm surprised I didn't see another like it. The town must have grown too fast and overlooked the tokens:) A new permission from a house being sold.
I sure like the tokens rather than the coins, this one sure is nice!

Old tokens really tell a lot of history. I like them better than silver coins also most the time. Congrats.

That's one of the coolest token I've ever seen. The associated history conjures up all kinds images of the period. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the posts. I've been to Telluride many times. It sure has grown. I've been to quite a few of the saloons there over the years. Such a beautiful place and such great music. I got to see "The Band" play there and many many more. I can't wait to go back! I have a great image in my mind of the saloon back then!
