Yesterday & Today's treasures!

Hello!

I've been getting out detecting for a few hours after work the last couple days. Yesterday I dug a silver earring, silver ring, and a 1957-D Rosie Dime. Then today I dug a 1960-D Rosie Dime and a trade token!

The trade token reads, BUTLER'S / 614 / 1st AVE. // GOOD FOR / 5c / IN TRADE. I looked it up and it's listed in the Oregon Trade token book in Portland. There's 2 varieties ~ ones aluminum and the other is copper ~ the aluminum is listed as R-5, and the copper one is R-3. I got lucky and found the scarcer one!

These Rosie dimes are my silver coin finds #127 & #128 for the year!

THANKS for looking!
Neil

Always enjoyable to read your posts!

Really enjoyed the trade token too. Do you think Butler's was originally in Portland, not Eugene? If so, I'll try to do some research on it up here for you.
