Token day at the fair grounds

[goldencoin]

After getting a merc last time i was there, i decided to concentrate a little harder on that area. Some of the tokens i found came out shinny and i kept having to do a double take to see if it really was silver...

Heres what i got:

4 eagle tokens
1 horseshoe token
1 Pacific Games token
1 Token with a bear sitting on a block of ice
2 wheats (1944 & 1925)
1 Junk ring
$1.23 clad

The token with the bear on the block of ice is a generic type and was used by a motel in my area (among probably hundreds of other businesses nationwide). The motel had an ice machine that was in more or less a public setting, so they used the tokens to control who got ice and how much. Customers would get a token when they registered and the machine would dispense an amount of ice for that token. I suppose the desk clerk would give customers more tokens, but they discouraged filling coolers.

Great bunch of tokens. Fairgrounds always a good place to detect.
