1850's token

Found this token about a month ago, been soaking in olive oil and cleaning on it to be able to photograph it. Of all places I found it along the sidewalk that runs in front if the local high school that was built around 1957. It's about the same size as a half dollar and when I first cleaned it with soap and water I was able to make out the eagle and shield on the coin and at first I thought I had found a early bust coin( very similar design as the back of the bust). I think the old local token is just as good. Gonna look good on display. I included one if what it looked like back in the dat. Thanks for looking...... HH

The reverse probably reads: IMPORTER/JOBBER OF/SILK AND FANCY/DRY GOOD/474 MAIN ST./ LOUISVILLE though other versus exist.
