spymoto New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 3:49 pm I found a token that is good for 5 cents at a hotel bar in Sturgeon Bay WI. Google doesn't seem to be helping because it keeps returning sites to book hotel rooms and no history of old hotels. Any help would be appreciated. I will try to contact the historical society if they have one. I guess I can't post a picture from my phone... so this is the inscription: Front: Ed.Kirchenberg Hotel Sturgeon Bay,WIS Back: Good for 5C (cents) at bar Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 4:12 pm Well, the inscription does tell it all. A Good for token and where it could be redeemed. Anywhere from the 1930's on really. Search for "token catalogues-Good fors"? http://tokencatalog.com/display_rec...l%20Listings Edited by Crazyb0 08/28/2018 4:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Metals dectors ideas on what is pretty good shape and a token collectors pretty good shape are worlds apart generally. Report this Post to the Staff
spymoto New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/29/2018 08:38 am I'm sure you're right on that one. Silver and gold are pretty much the only thing that comes out of the ground in the same condition as when they were lost many years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
