Awesome find! That's a very rare token. I couldn't get the photo but here is a listing for one that sold at Stacks in 2008. Condition as well as rarity is probably key for that price but I would still think yours could have some nice value to it.

Stack's : New Jersey, Newark and Alabama, Mobile. E. & I. Bragaw. [1830's]. Low-303, Rulau HT-207A. (AN30041462)

New Jersey, Newark and Alabama, Mobile. E. & I. Bragaw. [1830's]. Low-303, Rulau HT-207A.


Price Realized:
$3,450.00

New Jersey, Newark and Alabama, Mobile. E. & I. Bragaw. [1830s]. Low-303, Rulau HT-207A. Brass. Rarity-7. Very Fine. Plain edge. 94.5 gns. 26.6 mm. Struck slightly offset right from medal turn. An important dual location token with ties to both the North and South. The front and back are toned in a deep brassy yellow gold color with some iridescent highlights. The surfaces appear smooth and hard with some small digs above Wright & Bale's signature and a tiny pinprick mark at the base of the other side. The central inscriptions have been framed by careful outlines made after striking. The piece shows good central details on the reverse but the opposite side is a bit weak at that position. Extremely rare.

Ex Presidential Coin & Antique Company's sale of December 4, 2004, Lot 67.
