Could be Cotton Mills on Top.

I'll see if I can Clear it up
 

Tried to improve the pics, but don't think it helped much.

I'm Pretty Sure it's COTTON MILLS

But Can't rule out BUTTON MILLS

Or the name of a Town That ends in MILLS

& Looks like DEX08 or DBX08 ? on the Bottom So Far.

Also Could be a Pickers Token.

I think we are reading in backwards.
Could it be "BOX30"?
And I can almost see "SIDES"
On the other side. Maybe it is from a restaurant named Cotton Mill.
There was a Cotton Mill in South Boston,VA. Near by.
 

Not sure Why COTTON MILLS Would be Correct Yet BOX 30 Would be Backwords ?

But you May be Right

Backwards maybe the wrong description, upside down maybe more correct.
 

aah ! okeedoke I see it now

I wonder now If the Bottom Word is Store.

Meaning Good for 3 Points at the Store

Maybe Company Store Points ?
Which would Be a Pickers Token.
Same as Miners Script

I Doubt it's 3 Sides of Beef.

If it is, Again, unless It was Like a Pickers Token.
Given to a Farmer Or Butcher,
When he Delivered 3 Sides of Beef to the Store or Butcher
as a Promissory Note

Nice find of the Token. Well Done.
 

The bottom of the other side looks like it might say "BOX & OF" up side down

Your on to something,
Under the magnifying glass I can see the top end of a "K" two letters after the O, so "BOX&O_K". Still don't make sense to me.
 

cool mystery and finds
