Can anyone please try and provide additional information on this civil war token? The detail on the reverse is poor and the pictures are the best I could do. It was found along a river and was encrusted with something that was like cement. I cleaned it as carefully as I could trying to preserve some detail. I can see Dry Goods and Indianapolis on the bottom of token. That is where it was found. Most of the tokens I have seen with dry goods on one side have an Indian head on the other side instead of an eagle. Any ideas on how common or rare the token could be? Thank you.

Could it possibly read "Kendallville" instead of Indianapolis? I thought it might be a match for this -

INDIANA

Now that I look at it closer I think you may be on to something. What I thought was "ind" may well be the "end" in Kendallville. It also appears there is an s next on top of goods. Good eye!
