My WAG is a mid 1800's (1845) merchant's token... no name so it'll be hard to nail down.

Someone should be able to provide real help...

It is more likely a "generic" token, with the 1845 being just a number, not a date. Still, any token is a great find. Go back and complete the set.

The Good for 5 cent side is common. http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=4141777

I dont know what the numbers signify.

The style of lettering/number on the back looks like circa1890's. The 1845 could be an address, or name of the business, possibly a drinking establishment. Just my quess though.
