1899 Barber Dime & Klan Token

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Hunted an old abandoned farm house in between all the bad weather we've been having here.
Dug this 1899 Barber Dime (my all time 30th Barber Dime) a Ku Klux Klan Token and four Wheat Cents.
"Non Silba Sed Anthar" on the Token translates to - "Not Self - But Other's".
The other two photo's are of same Token that was not dug.

Good Hunting !

Well done on getting the Barber and the token.
That token has some history to it, makes one think.
From reading about another token with the same script it was under the classification of awards and metals.
Kind of wonder if this was awarded to the owner of the house, or a throw away at one time.

From what I've read these KKK Tokens were carried by the owner and presented as proof of membership to others in the Klan and they were also handed out for recruiting purposes.
