I finally got permission on a house I have been eyeing a long time, nice folks said I come come back anytime. Most finds came from a small section of the front yard, back yard has tons of junk but front cleaner. This comes from two days of short hunts. The first day I started getting a bunch of clad right away ended up with over $3.00 worth. Started getting some wheats, earliest 1920 and kept thinking there should be some silver there and finally I turned up a Silver Washington 1952-D ...my first Silver of the year

ended up with 6 wheats and the quarter. The cold and the cold I have been fighting did me in. Came back the next day for a couple of hours got two more wheats in the same hole a 1920 and a 1921 and then got the token. Could not find any info on it, a Ingle System token if anyone knows anything about it let me know. It was issued in 1909.

Great silver quarter find and that token is cool.
 

Everyone say's great silver, but I'm sure that token is worth more.
Great finds !!
Keep @ it and HH !!
 

On eBay most of those tokens have bids over 10 bucks.
 

John Peter Bley had a grocery in Whiting, IN, ordered and started using these tokens about 1912. The 1926 Hammond, IN city directory shows him in partnership with Nick Thillen in the grocery and meat business at 960 Indianapolis Blvd. in Hammond. The 1929 Hammond, IN city directory shows him by himself in the grocery business at 635 Hammond Blvd. which was noted to be served by the Whiting post office.
