Gotta' Love This Hobby! Civil War Token and MORE!

Had my best day of detecting! First I hit a 1912 Barber (not pictured). Then TOKENS! First a Hard Time Luck Coin(Token) from 1837. Then a Dry Goods token from Dorenus and Nixon Dry Goods 1840s-1860s. Then I have saved the best for last a Civil War Token from 1863. Man I love this hobby!
Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting!

These are Beautiful finds--and much harder to find than coins are. In fact, these are something that one could never even hope to find one of--and yet you have found THREE examples in great condition! :hello2:

Since you didn't post your Barber, I'm sure that this post will get fewer replies than one full of a few Mercury dimes...which is part of the reason I wanted to make sure I replied before I dozed off tonight. If you had posted the Barber, I probably wouldn't have even seen it. I'd have been staring at those great tokens.

Well Done.

Nice finds. According to Fulds book, the Graves token is R6. Thats on a 1-10 scale, 1 being real common to 10 being very rare. hh dan
