Rare token I dug today...

[Jpro]

Was out digging CW relics and as a surprise dug this token. Thanks to forum member
Bramblefind in helping ID this item.
A few years back 2004, one of these sold for around $3,000..don't know the condition.

Token:
E & I Bragaw (1830's) token
Newark, NJ and Mobile, Alabama
Hat manufactures

It may be this same token that sold for $3,450 in 2008.
Stack's : New Jersey, Newark and Alabama, Mobile. E. & I. Bragaw. [1830's]. Low-303, Rulau HT-207A. (AN30041462)
Same Ralau reference, so yes, it's the same token as Bramblefind referenced above.

You were correct, the 2004 date was the year of the previous sale of the same token.

Found an image of the token. This is the one that sold for > $3,000

Cool find...if it dates to the 1830s I would think it would be considered a 'Hard Times Token'. I've found a few of these over the years but not the same manufacturer as yours. I'm thinking yours is a rare one to pull in a price like that. The ones I've found were valued at less then $100.

Congrats
