Default First Standing Liberty Quarter and more!

Went back to a good spot and found my first SLQ! Six inches from that a merc! Also found a mangled Large Cent, an IH, and a 1916 Buffalo nickel! One more thing...I found an old token that says: Bruswick Balke Collender Co. Good for 5 cents in Trade. W.J. Bryant. Anyone know anything about these old tokens? Value maybe?

Congrats on your first SLQ!! I got my first about a month ago and it had a merc in the same hole. That is one of my favorite coins , I just wish they were easier to find.

a token good for a game in a pool hall or billiard parlor. The J. M. Brunswick & Balke Co. of Chicago specialized in billiard tables and supplies, saloon furnishings, etc. Prior to 1874, J. M. Brunswick and Julius Balke were competitors. In 1884, B&B merged with the New York firm of H. W. Collender, becoming the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. not real sure if its the same one but this is what i found.
