The site in this link is a great resource for researching tokens.
http://tokencatalog.com/index.php

You can search by State or All US.

I have had a look for your token there - but without success, so far.

The site did throw up a clue on possible age of your token with the following info;
In 1908 many merchants issued tokens with George Washington on them to commemorate the first President's 200th birthday.
I think that fits with the style of the initials too.

Also, I think the letter is I as opposed to J.

I wonder if it is a token for a Society or Club rather than a merchant

The entwined monogram looks very familiar, however can't seem to locate it in searches

I agree that it's likely a store card token. You can see the '&' and the 'o' in the 'C'. SI & Co or IS & Co
