Token, V Nickel, IHP, and a silver

[toasted]

Hunted my old standby seated field this afternoon. Found the 1888 V in the iron. Explored some areas far away from the iron patch and scored an indian, GW, and the holed crop pickers check token. These tokens are better than finding most silvers to me and are the only type of token Ive found in my area which was one of the largest fruit and vegetable producers in the country from after the Civil War up until about WWII

Tokens are full of history compared to modern silver. Got it with the XP Deus with 13” X35 coil. Thats why I mostly stayed out of the iron today.

Nice finds. Gota love those old tokens. Id take a local pickers token over a 20th century silver coin any day of the week.

Thanks. Yes its only the second scalloped edge pickers token Ive found. The other one came from the same field and is nearly identical minus the hole

Great hunt! Covered all the bases, old copper, silver and tokens...Tokens are so fun to find, especially when you don't immediately recognize it and get to research it. When going through my finds, it's the tokens that stir the memories.. where it was made,what it was used for...Congrats and thx for sharing, Ddf.

Thanks. Ive found a few over the years but I really need to get a hold of the book mentioned in the link to learn more about the history of these tokens. Not a cheap book to aquire. I need to check out my local public library too
