The token yard.

[GaRebel1861]

The day before yesterday, I received an invite to hunt a 1880s home that has remained in the same family since it was built. The residence is in Terrell County Georgia and is very well maintained. Shortly after getting started, I was hunting in the back yard I found a token. I thought it was pretty cool and stuck it in my pocket. A few feet away was another and then another and then another. I ended up with nine of these aluminum tokens from Pensacola Florida. My hunting buddy found at least seven more. It's kind of odd why so many were in one back yard in Southwest Georgia. I checked the company online and it appears that they are still in the liquor business. The only coin that I dug was a 1936 penny. Does anybody know anything about these?

Well maybe the guy who owned the house had a drinking problem and his wife threw his tokens away??
Congratulations on your finds.

That did cross my mind that someone may have had a sweet tooth for the liquor and perhaps was saving them up.

The company is still around, now in the liquor business, but was general merchandise before. Best to contact them.

Dont even take 2nd or 3rd offer. Talk to numerous collectors first. Look for people who specialize in FL tokens, or liquor tokens. Everyone is different and values can vary by location but as notice to you, I found 2 similarly rare tokens. No info at all about them but top state collector was willing to give $700 a piece because he held the only other one.

great looking token, I'd say pre-prohibition, great design

Awesome!

I contacted the company by phone yesterday afternoon and no one there knew anything about the tokens.

I plan to go back after the weather warms up. I know that there's more of those tokens there.
