Nice finds. I think the Barber design is one of the best ever made. IMHO

Nice finds! The token with the 5 on it is what I call a "generic" trade token. They were sometimes used by general stores that chose not to have customized tokens made with their name and location. The benefit was that they were cheap for the merchant to buy, but the downside was that they could not tell whether the token came from them or from the store down the road. They were probably used ca. 1915-1930 give or take, found all over the country, and were in denominations from 5¢ to $1.

Three silvers in one hunt = awesome day! Congratulations. I'm very jealous of that Barber quarter. Great condition. Hopefully one day it will be my turn to dig one.

Nice finds. That Barber is really nice. You hunt the old parks the same way I do. I don't waste my time around the rides or benches. I try to find out where the old homes were and that's where I spend my time.
