Well decided to go out and ask for permission today. Tired of the same old lots we pound here in town. I got shot down and only had about an hour left so went to my old lot.

Picked a 1920 wheat, dinged it on the back.
Then I found a token. Thought it was play money.
Someone drilled a hole in.

Red Goose Premium Money. 50 cent

Not sure of an exact date, tons of them on eBay lol

Someone shot a hole in that baby. Looks like a .22 caliber hole.
 

Nice discovery!:thumbsup: To me, any old token is a great find. Keep at it, the best finds are still out there waiting to be found.
 

Id have to agree that somebody used that as target practice, Nice find :icon_thumright:
 

I remember getting those Red Goose tokens whenever I got a new pair of shoes,what a blast from the past.
 

Better to get shot down than shot at :laughing7: Nice find on the token!
 

Nice find Jcobb! I feel the same way, the same old hunted out spots gets old, then asking permission only to get shot down is a double whammy! I've been there, going thru it now matter of fact..........still love this hobby though! You gotta keep on L-I-V-I-N !!
 

Nice token....Red Goose Shoes-bought by Buster Brown in the 40's.
Was based in St.Louis but sold across the United States.

I got shot down in 1967--a real bummer, but not nearly as bad as when I hit the ground!
 

That's cool! Don't think I have ever found a shot token .. shot coins yes, but not a token. Good find!
 

Nice find, I love those old tokens.
 

Yes shot, whats funny is they shot the '50' side & not the goose...lol
 

Awesome Find James! Those tokens are my favorite finds...and thats an Oldie...Let me know if you wanna head out this weekend!
 

Somebody was a good shot, dead center. Keep asking they all won't say no. And you were able to get out that's awesome
Nice finds by the way!
