I love tokens! Research on this little guy yields very little. In Chattanooga at least over 200 separate tokens were created from 1880 through the 1950’s.. now I’ve only got 199 others to find!

Congrats! Tokens are awesome! they are like finding a coin with a local history. Tokens are often worth a lot more than silver coins, and some can be worth over $1000!

Thanks! I rarely ever find them. About 4 inches deep in a carpet of nails at an old church.
$1000 bucks! Man I need to find more tokens!

That’s a beauty! I would love to find any token aside from Chuck E’s!

few things more disheartening than digging up an object and recognizing immediately that its going to be a token. Only to clean away some dirt and see "No cash value"

Ha! Yup.. lucky for me I like finding any coin or token. My favorite target is digging a terribly masked iffy signal that turns out to be a coin!

Congrats on the token. I love digging tokens, after silver and IHPs they are tops. Although not having an even remotely good year for silver I am doing quite well on tokens. HH Mark

Dandy token! I bet it'll clean up real nice. You should post some cleaned photos.

Very interesting Token Tower. Digging them always instills interest in the history of the company, and surrounding areas. Looks like you have a very good one to research for its history. Trapper
