I am hunting the site of a former brothel, "The Spit and Whistle". I've been looking specifically for items related to that time in the propertys history, so I was really surprised when this popped up. I really love tokens, and this civil war era token really made my week. The reading I have done says these were sometimes handed out as change. Does anyone know for what reason? I read the 1863 date is actually the time frame these were "minted".
Also found a .54 cal round ball
Not pictured is the 1/2 of a 5 gallon bucket of the typical "bar trash" one expects to find at a site like this.
Thank you for looking, and happy hunting!!
