These finds are from different sites on a few different hunts.
As always, sorry about the low grade photo's.

1876 - Seated Liberty Dime - (Extra Fine Condition) found in woods near a 1800's Shoe / Boot Repair Shop.
1947 - Roosevelt Dime - found in the overgrown front yard of a very old abandoned Farmhouse.

All three of these Tokens were found near the same, very old Cellar Hole deep in the woods.
(1) Orco - Good for 50 Cents at Restaurant - (Possible this Token was used as Coal Mine Company Script).
(2) T.H - 5 Cents.
(3) Red Goose Children's Shoes - Good for 50 Cents - (1940's - 50's era).

Good Hunting !

Awesome!!! Congrats!!!
 

Excellent finds, Congrats! That is one nice looking Seated!
Thanks Jeff - The Seated Dime is in much better condition then it looks in the photo's.
I should probably get one of those Macro-lens adapters for our cell phone.
There's really no sense in taking horrible photo's of great finds ! :BangHead:

Nice going on the silvers and the seated does look in great condition.
Just wondering if you could do a close up of the 50 cent token....wait you're not able to-nor do he pictures enlarge.
Could you tell us the token says actually-both sides?
What cell phone are you using for photos?

Hi Pepperj - I've found two of these exact same Tokens - dug the other one six or eight years ago.

Side 1 - "Good For 50 In Merchandise - Osborne Co., Cin. O USA - Patent Pending".
Side 2- "Good For 50 In Trade At Restaurant"

I already looked - if you find any info. I missed on these Tokens please let me know - Thanks !
