sccollector Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 6:57 pm I apologize if I shouldn't have posted this but I'm new and very curious what this is. Found in bank penny roll. Thank you all! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 7:10 pm I copied your images, I messed around with them. All I can make out is an anchor on front and some text on the back, maybe a slogan or merchant half penny of sorts. I think if you skipped the light ( flash ) in your camera and posted two better smaller images, we might be able to help. The second one is turned 90 degrees to the right. edit: Since you found it in a cent roll, it may be an obscure civil war store card. Edited by TNG 03/14/2018 7:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 7:31 pm I think I can see Ohio at the bottom. So it would seem to be a civil war store card token from Ohio. Edit to add: I think I found a match for the obverse with a different reverse. http://coins.com/coins/1863-b-p-belknp-token/ Edited by BigSilver 03/14/2018 7:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 03/14/2018 9:56 pm Lots of hard living on this piece, but to find a token from the 19th Century in circulation is pretty amazing. You should go back to that bank and buy everything they have!
