Went back to the place I found the chinese coin at. Found an Indian Head, a War nickel and a Parking token for an old bank here in town.

Some history:
"Baker Boyer Bank A Walla Walla, Washington based financial institution, opened in 1869 becoming the first bank in what would become the State Of Washington. It was started by Dr. D.S. Baker and John Boyer.The Bank's current 7-story headquarters at the corner of 2nd And Main Streets in Downtown Walla Walla was, for a short time, the tallest building west of the Mississippi."

Wow! That War Nickel looks like it was dropped not long after it was minted!
 
Hey thanks for the cool history and all the replies.
 
Those are 3 awesome finds. Congrats.
They look to be in very good shape, could use a light cleaning though.
I love those war nickels. A lot of them are popping up lately.
