TRADE TOKEN ~ I love digging trade tokens!

[oddcoins]

Our club had our monthly outing today at a small park in Springfield Oregon ~ we had nine members show up and we dug lots of clad and misc. The hunt ended at Noon and I went home to eat & relax for a while. Then I met Richard downtown to do some more detecting. Here's my totals for today:

11 clad quarters
24 clad dimes
11 nickels
120 memorial cents
5 wheat cents (all from the 40's)
TRADE TOKEN ~ GRAY BROS. EUGENE OREGON

The token is GOOD FOR 5c IN TRADE. I didn't find any silver today, but digging the trade token made up for it!

Thanks for looking!

Oh, that's too bad! The "P" mints don't bring as much $$ as the mint marked early Wheats.

i have always loved the trade tokens as well. when i was a kid, my dad lived on an old farm place and that place was absolutely littered with all sorts of trade tokens !!! he used an old garrett detector and i used an old c & g technology bobcat detector. as a matter of fact, some of the tokens that i found were so rare, they ended up in an alabama trade token book that was written and published by an old man a couple of counties over from us.

WOW ~ that's AWESOME!! I detected for over 13 years before I dug a trade token! Now I've got about a dozen of them! None are super rare though, but still fun to find!

Great token!

You may know about this token site already, but I just discovered it yesterday. Someone turned me on to it while researching a bar token I found two weeks ago in Indiana.
