Early Merchant Token (1815) and another Nickel First

[romeo-1]

It was raining today so I did not plan to get out...plus we have a family dinner later that afternoon so I figured it would be a day inside. Low and behold the rain stopped at around 11:30am so off I went to the "Beat Site". Once again I was rewarded for my perseverance.

Found another US nickel...this one a 1924 "buffalo" nickel. The date is actually readable so I am happy with that. My find of the day was an early local merchant token. This is actually the second one that I have found of this particular token but the 1st one is really toast and barely recognizable.

Maybe you have a counterfeit made 30 years later.

Even better but I doubt it...but it would still be dated 1815!
