Well guys I went back to my spot and this is what I got. I found a rare Ziegler Saloon token from New Orleans, it’s actually my second one I’ve ever found. This was the info the Token Catalog sent me. IMG_2557.JPG

“(New Orleans, Louisiana), Ziegler Saloon, 106 – 114 Royal St., E.W. Peters, Prop. // 10. Copper nickel, 27mm, vf detail with some corrosion on both sides, Crawford & Farber 6293Z/3-10a, R-10.
The catalog states that all the known Z/3-10 examples have a V counterstamp on the obverse – this one does not. The Ziegler Saloon operated at 8-12 Royal Street from 1875 – 1895 when it became Huff’s Saloon. Street numbers were changed in New Orleans in 1894 so this token was struck in 1894 or 1895. A rare New Orleans saloon token.”

I have found the 10 Cent Ziegler Saloon token in a 1800’s Church lawn, now I found a 5 Cent Ziegler Saloon token in the grounds of this Jesuit Priest’s land. Lol IMG_2553.JPGIMG_2552.JPGIMG_2556.JPG

Also found so other cool odds and ends. If you know anything I don’t please let me know.

Very well done Truth! That's a sweet piece of local history, congrats.
 

Great finds, Truth...the token is killer, the green relics are awesome and I'm liking the coin ring too...I got one for my birthdate, 1964 (last yr for 90% silver lol)...thx for sharing, Ddf.

Yeah ddf I also had my wife’s made from the inside of the same coin for when she’s working because the wedding ring is to nice to bang up. It was one of my better ideas. Lol
