After a 36 year hiatus, I got back into detecting over the holidays. Yesterday I turned up this interesting find: A (slightly damaged) silver dollar-size, trade token, uncovered in Camp Dennison, Ohio. It's by PYE Clothier, "Clothing Hats and Furs, 5th & Vine Streets, Cinti." It's made of gilt brass. Thanks to the Stacks Bowers Galleries web site, I am able to post a picture of my find side-by-side with a better version of the token. Great way to get back into the hobby and thought I would share!
Anyone know what these tokens/coins were for? Were they purely promotional?
