CopperheadLaw New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 10:44 am The other day I dug an unknown copper coin in an area that I have found coins as old as the 1840's. the coin is copper, quite thin and is just slightly smaller in diameter than a US quarter. on one side is 2 1/2 with a P above and a W below. The other side appears blank but it is quite crusty. The token has a slightly raised edge. I know this is a long shot, it is probably a token local to the area and may not have any known record of existence. Report this Post to the Staff

Safaga Valued Member United States 146 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 11:45 am You did not list where in Missouri the token was dug. This is also a long shot, but if it were near Weingarten, MO it may be from the Prisoner of War (PW) camp located there. Report this Post to the Staff
CopperheadLaw New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 11:53 am It was found on the other side of the state in Pleasant Hill Mo. Pleasant Hill has a lot of Civil War History. It was occupied by the Jayhawkers and burned, then later liberated by Quantrill and the Missouri Bushwackers. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 23689 Posts	Posted 05/19/2022 8:04 pm @cop, that is an interesting find. I wonder if you could also give us an accurate weight for this piece. I'm thinking it might be a brass 2.5 pennyweight weight used with old fashioned balances.

CopperheadLaw New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/20/2022 10:47 am Spence, that is an interesting idea. That would make perfect sense. I will weigh it when I get home. I showed it to a local historian. He told me there were a couple of businesses in town that this token may have come from. Pelzors Wagon & Woodworking Co. Circa 1870, Powell & Waylond Theatre Circa 1907. These are theories only, there is no known record of either business using trade tokens. Your idea might be a winner. Report this Post to the Staff
