I posted the wrong pics earlier. This is the strange coin find I found in the woods today. A first for me, and interesting to say the least. Enjoy the pics while I go redeem it for my million dollar lot!

Early Land Grant Token
Probably Early 20th Century.

here is One I found
& sold on EBay for $60.00

The site dates back to mid-late 1800's to early 1900's, so early 20th century definately makes sense. Nice to see one similat to this one. Thanks Jeff!

Yep

Your's is only the Second one I'v ever seen.

but by the wording it was either like a contest where they annouced these were placed places during the Land grabbing days.

Or they were just thrown around & If you got lucky & Found one
You got Free Land

It is real interesting, and I hope I can find out some more about it. I can't seem to find that company anymore, but the title company is still around. This token is gonna keep me busy for awhile.

Only Difference is it's Wheaton Estates instead of Downers Grove
Which could effect Value depending which gets more searches

Probably just back taxes for the past hundred years plus interest. :P
