Ft Leavenworth Token

[wildrider]

I've never been one to care how much things are worth, because everything I find goes into my collection.
When I had by business I use to have my finds out on display and was asked several times what this is worth, so I thought I would check it out. Any of you token folks know?

This was found in an area in KY where there have been Washington Inaugural buttons, 1812 stuff, CW stuff, coal company script and everything up to the present time. No telling why this was here other than it was busy place for a small town.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

I know you were speaking to Idaho tokens and I know you are right. Anything is worth what someone else will pay for it.

That's why I don't try to set values on my stuff, it's generally things that I think are pretty cool since they didn't cost me much besides time and gas.

When it comes to relics, my motto is if I don't dig it, I wont buy it. Too easy to make good quality fake stuff these days.

Thanks for your reply!
