I like to know what’s your rarest or best tokens you’ve found and where? I found this NEW ORLEANS LA ZIEGLER SALOON 106-114 ROYAL ST EW PETERS PROP 10 CIRCA 1894 R-10 in the front of the old church in my town. (New Orleans, Louisiana), Ziegler Saloon, 106 – 114 Royal St., E.W. Peters, Prop. // 10. Copper nickel, 27mm, vf detail with some corrosion on both sides, Crawford & Farber 6293Z/3-10a, R-10.
The catalog states that all the known Z/3-10 examples have a V counterstamp on the obverse – this one does not. The Ziegler Saloon operated at 8-12 Royal Street from 1875 – 1895 when it became Huff’s Saloon. Street numbers were changed in New Orleans in 1894 so this token was struck in 1894 or 1895. A rare New Orleans saloon token.![IMG_1736.jpg IMG_1736.jpg](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1521/1521042-c536521bd0f9c182259a394cccd4fb26.jpg)
Also found a the same token in a #5 a a Jesuit Priest’s homestead in the woods. Just goes to show you even the religious couldn’t stay out of New Orleans. No idea of value. If anyone has a token book I’d love to know. Thank for looking![IMG_1738.jpg IMG_1738.jpg](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1521/1521054-36a4c05b18f464539e63b32bc7850e15.jpg)

I also found one more a 25 cent F.M Owens Steamer token also found at a church in Mandeville La 50 miles from New Orleans. The steamer was built in 1910 and sank in 1915 so might be vary rare![IMG_1739.jpg IMG_1739.jpg](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1521/1521062-a9b38c0ed4647095e2b273821167f35e.jpg)
