Cool dig! I have found 3(I think) state sales tax tokens over the years. They came in various denominations, like 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, and probably others. Alabama seems to be the most common, but still rare to find; especially up here in Wisconsin. You have a nice Mississippi 5 center, in very good shape.
