Rare CW Store Card Found in Michigan

[jdhowland85]

Got permish to dig on some property from a friend of mine. Was stoked when my boy @postalgriff and I pulled some sweet keepers. The ring is a men’s sterling silver ring. Missing two stones.
A 1930’s Plymouth Radiator Emblem. Not the best shape, but still pretty cool.

The 1863 Civil War Store Card and 1852 Canadian Bank Token are the first of each and the two oldest coins I have found thus far. The dirt was super kind to them and they cleaned up really nice. Enjoy!

So sweet man.. here’s a few pics I took that show the color a little better. That token is an R-7 in Fuld’s book which means 10-20 known! Killer finds man, congrats!!

Just wanted to add these couple pics that were taken out in the field... still can’t believe the condition of that token. What a stunner.

Very nice tokens and nice job on the cleaning! How was it done?

Very very nice. I have collected a number of civil war tokens over the years and can appreciate the rarity of this find.

Congrats

That was a a really good hunt and you're so right about the soils being kind. Congrats

For some odd reason the 1852 One Penny Tokens come up nicer than the Half Penny Tokens.

Not the first MI coins I've seen come out of the ground that nice. Wonderful soil up there. Congrats on the rare find. Gary
