Thought some might like to see these.

#1 FMC - First Methodist Church Parking token (thanks to Tokensmith for the ID)

#2 Central Cigar Store. At one time Jackson was nicknamed Central City. Saw a
story once in the local paper about the CC story so I know this was from Jackson.
This was because Jackson was the hub of the Michigan Central Railway

#3 Civil war token. W Jackson grocer 1864

Those are so cool , thanks for sharing. Bobbie says she never knew that Jackson was called Central City. Did you find these in a old lot, or home site

Cool Tokens

Nice variety too!!! All of the tokens that I've found in my town (Hesperia) have been from the same place and aluminum...McCallum Bros. Store. All 5-centers except a 50-center I found between some old clothesline poles. Nearby in Fremont I found a 2-cent token from the Fremont Canning Company, Which is now better known to the world as The Gerber Baby Food Company.

The "Bully For You" Token's pretty cool. It looks like it's a Hard Times token since it's dated.

Thanks for sharing
