Maybe but I’m feeling more of a token it’s driving me crazy because of that one word that’s a little far off and my city New Orleans it’s hard letting go and not knowing what it is and stuff like this that keeps me up at night very sad

I think "Joe McDonough" is 'poetsgarden's' real name, added to the end of his posts... not a suggestion that your item relates to someone of that name!

New Orleans hosted a Worlds' Fair in 1884 and there were lots of souvenir items produced at that time, including 'tokens', although mostly just advertising 'pocket pieces' rather than true tokens with an exchange value. New Orleans also has a long history (since 1856) of Mardi-Gras, with purpose-made tokens being thrown to the crowds from the carnival floats. It might also just be a 'lucky piece' souvenir for the city.

The 84 Worlds Fair I was 14 so 84 was something special for me I lost my virginity to a hairdresser I drank beer at a bar and my old friends and I had the times of our lives. Red-Coat that is why I was so happy to find this 1884-5 Worlds fair souvenir. I think it should’ve got more accolades but emotionally what means $1 million see you is worth that to you I’m not anyone else they still sell it was a great fine.

The 1984 worlds fair was something that has stuck in my life since 14 it was a place where I lost my virginity to a hairdresser from Lafayette also it was the first time that me and my friends actually sat at a bar and drink beer it was a manhood year. That’s why I was so excited when I found this 1884-5 World stair souvenir where it says New Orleans and the date

The word on it is souvenir, not scuvenir from what I see. Pretty cool token to find.
