    I think it's a bus token

    I found a token while searching a couple years back. Have never cleaned it up and planning on doing so this week. What would be a good way to clean it and is there anyone in the forum that is really knowledgeable on tokens in Tn. Some of the face side I can see just a bit and I know I was not able to find a match online based on what little bit I can see. The tail side had the standard " No Cash Value". One local guy that was with me when I found it acted rather surprised I found it where I found it based on the history of the location out in the middle of no where. He and I were looking for civil war bullets from a small civil war encounter between the north and south that we had found a mention of in a letter from a confederate soldier to him mom. Nothing around this area and there never has been. Certainly no bus line with in about 25 miles. So after I get it cleaned up I would really like to find out more about it.

    very likely a game token used in amusement games.
    don't know the earliest use of these - unlikely that it is a transportation token with no cash value on it.
