City Cigar Token, Flat Buttons, Silver

[Indiana Digger]

Hi Everyone,

Beautiful weather here on Friday, so I HAD to get out and hunt. The forecast is calling for one more 60 degree day, before the temp drops by 30 degrees. (snow in the 5 day forecast)

A nice 2 cm aluminum token CITY/CIGAR/STORE/5c - GOOD/FOR/5c/IN/MERCHANDISE





I went back out to my 1800-1850 honeyhole yesterday and found the following.




ONE MORE NICE DAY TODAY - The battery has a full charge. My backup pack has fresh batteries. The gas tank is filled up. I made a thermos of coffee. Gonna make a day of it.

Best Wishes and Happy Hunting,

~Indiana Digger~

Sometimes that good old dense Indiana clay helps preserve em.

Great looking token.
I dug one with the same shape up in Indiana a few months back. I learned they used that shape back in the early 1900's.
Congrats,
