Found this token a week ago near an old house in Champaign, IL. Can anyone tell me how old is is and if it worths anything?

PBK said:It's listed in Vacketta's Trade Tokens of Illinois, and the description notes that it is center-holed; so, that would not affect the value. Another variety is listed as well. No date information is provided. The token is rated R6: "Extremely rare — 1-5 known." At the time of the book's publication (1983), R6 tokens were assigned a value of "$5 up."

Later, I may be able to get an update on the value, too.
