A request from a newbie.


I'm needing help identifying this token. It was found during road construction on Wyatt Earp in Dodge City Kansas about at the corner of 2nd and Wyatt Earp on what would have been old Front Street.

Hello Detector,


Thanks for joining the board.  One of our mods is good at token ID's.  He should be by within a week or so and give his opinion.  Feel free to show any of your other tokens or ask any other questions.


 OH, and nice find by the way!!!


Welcome.

I love looking at tokens that have been found by diggers. I was just in Dodge a week ago and was hoping that someone was working Earp street. Your token is not from the early Dodge city but probably from the 1910 - 1930 time period. The problem is it just has initials on it. I can look in a directory and find thousands of combinations with those initials. I hardly even mess with them unless they have been dug in a specific location like the foundation of a known business. The one that pops in my mind is the Windily Hand tokens from Hand's Station. They where dug at the homestead and there where no other business ever at the site. and more than one was found.


I plan to go to Dodge October 28 for the day and while I'm there I will take in the coin show. I will not get a table this year. If you have more tokens or tags and want to show them off let me know. Larry Oller

Thanks!


What I was hoping for was a general date on the token. My research has turned up nothing locally as far as the initials. Probably lost by someone passing through since it was not far from the train depot. Possibly lost during the 1939 Errol Flynn visit by thousands of people that covered the area.


KStoken, hope to see you in dodge the 28th. I've been swinging a detector in the area for near 30 years and do have quite a few goodies.

I new at this. I found an old token from a 1900's cash register. I was wondering if you could help me identify it. On one side it has "Good for 5 cents In Trade" the other side has "No 1" The token appears to be brass with bronze. I live in Arkansas but do not know where the cash register with the toke came from. Any information would be gradeful.  cbrzzs@yahoo.com
