BuffaloBoy: Neat token found in a half dollar roll (WITH PICTURES)

[BuffaloBoy]

Hey folks, some of you may not recognize me as there are quite a few new hunters to this site and I don't post much, simply because nobody cares about a 40% here, a 90% there, and a bunch of skunks in-between.

Mixed in with this week's 3 skunk boxes of halves was a very neat agricultural token that says on the obverse, "THE PITTS AGRICULTURAL WORKS -- BUFFALO N.Y. 1851" with a picture of a buffalo on it!
The reverse says, "BUFFALO PITTS -- ENGINES THRESHERS -- 1895", so I would assume that the token is from 1895.

I told a fellow member, Avago, about my find and after some research, he sound a link to the company's website, check it out! Buffalo Pitts

If anyone has any other information on the token, I would appreciate it... Enjoy and HH!
Buff

Rulau's United States Tokens book lists it as #Buf 104. The one he pictures is also holed, so that is apparently as it was made. His book values it at $15. in Very Fine condition.

Interesting! Does the hole look similar to that of the one pictured in your book?

Neat. The coin pictured in the listing looks harshly cleaned too, and it had 17 bids!

Very cool find

 

[mAGma]

Awesome find man. Even if its not worth a ton, the 'treasure hunt' factor on that one is huge

 

[Avago]

Neat to see the pics! Never know what you'll find in a roll, that's for sure. Definitely an interesting piece of history.

Pretty cool, and could possibly turn a profit for you. Nice find.

 

[Avago]

How could BuffaloBoy ever sell a Buffalo Pitts token with the picture of a Buffalo on it??

Nice find BB glad to see a post from an old timer. Seems like one of those "meant to be finds."

Thanks all, I do not intend to sell this piece, it has some nice history behind it... I guess I am kind of a history buff
