alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 05/13/2010 7:00 pm I'm very struck by the design and calligraphy, maybe circa 1910? Overall however it's fairly crudely executed, making me think that it could be a few years earlier. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 05/14/2010 11:55 am Looks like "hDG" to me, pinned to the reverse. My guess is 1890's, a maverick token - until ID'd. Possibly, it was good for a tune, a drink, a cigar - mostly, those things were a nickel back then. Good conversation piece ... Report this Post to the Staff
