✅ SOLVED 1875 John T Miles Oyster Packer Token

[GWWJR]

Anyone have info on this? Looking for some kind of reference material. I got 4 of these from the same farm field located in no mans land along Chesapeake Bay. Thanks

Looks like a 3 cent nickel but is quarter size.

Thanks a lot for the help. Someone on another thread ID it from Schenkman's Maryland Merchant Tokens book. Apparently the Miles guy went out of biz in the 1880s.
