That says "R. H. Reeder" right ? If so, I don't see anything about that token in any of the guides. And without a city, it would be a "maverick" . A lot of mavericks have been identified with cities and date-ranges. But I'm not seeing that one come up anywhere.
Did you get pix of the beach ? If so, post them (or email or text them to me), and I can tell you if the sand was "up" or "down". If you only got a single wheatie, then odds are, the sand was "up". I've been there before and gotten a dozen wheaties, random buffalos, 3 to 5-ish silver, etc... at a pop. Then other times, the sand is up, and it's just a few felix pennies. It's a gamble on timing.

In token collecting jargon, "maverick" means it doesn't have a city-of-origin. For the place-of-business. Most tokens will say a city name, for the saloon or store or bar or whatever. But if it only has the propietor's name (but no city name), then it's called a "maverick".
Many mavericks have been attributed (and so-too, proprietor, date-range, etc...). So THEN their value is ascertained by the collector community.
About the only way a new maverick can have value, is if you did the research, and pinned it of-a-certainty on a certain small burg , of which this is the only token known-from-that-city/burg. Then it becomes a One-token-town type of thing.
If I'm wrong about this token-value thing, then someone chime in and let us all know. I'm just quoting , as I've heard it, from long-time buyer/sellers of this fraternity.
