    Token help - SOLVED

    I dug this token up at the 1830's house today. It's in pretty bad shape, but I would love to know what it says and maybe how old it is.
    It's about the size of a nickel. Not sure or the material (heavy), but it is corroding in some spots possibly from fertilizers?
    Pictured is the token, and the letters I can make out.
    Any guesses?
    Thanks,
    MM

    Re: Token help - Any ideas?

    my GUESS would be movie token, but I will have to look at some of mine to try and match the letters.
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    property ( of) vender / (for) entertainment (use) only --- very common on "ilegall slots " (which were very common late 1890s thru 1940's)--so the owners could say the slugs had no value --thus no gambling was going on "offically" --size told you its value --thus yours is a 5 cent one
