Title FORT THOMPSON, DAKOTA TERRITORY TOKEN
Image
Found in 1996
Found By Lowell "Pete" Bohnet
Value 500
Category Token
Heading For use at Fort Thompson, Dakota Territory
Description Uncertain of the significance and value of his find, Lowell "Pete" Bohnet took a tip from a friend and decided to "Ask Mark Parker." The answer? The token was issued in the 1860s or '70s for use at Fort Thompson, Dakota Territory, by a post trader known only as "F.J.D. & Co." This one is marked "25"; there are also "50" and "100" denominations. Both highly collectable and historically important, it's easily one of the finer tokens reported to W&ET in the past year.
Condition Very Good
