100 year old token spill

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Was at a 1890 home site in the city this weekend. Best tone of the day, nice tight hightone, not deep.

Initially thought stacked LC’s, but ended up being 3 big tokens.


First one is a Good Luck token, first time I have found this type with the Chinese symbol. Cool that is dated 1915.
Next one is another Good Luck token. Hotel token, Detroit.


Last one is my favorite, ID’d by the What’s It forum team as a Charge Coin Token Tag from Boston.




Good luck out there!

Thanks for the research Jeff! Three tokens in a hole is like a mini time capsule.

Well now that you have cornered the market on Good Luck, we will be expecting all kinds of fantastic finds from you Thad
Maybe an early token collector making an offering to the gods of luckiness?
Interesting, that the good luck symbol is oriented differently on two of those with one in the clockwise direction and one counter-clockwise.

Thx Steve! Never can have enough luck in this hobby. Yeah, interesting on the orientation differences on the symbol. Previously thought one direction was good luck and the other direction not-so-much...
