Thought I would share a pretty cool find from this evening. It would have been far less strange if it popped out of a box of pennies, but this 150 year old treasure was hiding in a box of dimes. I don't think it traded as currency since there is no denomination, but there is an S mint mark under Andrew Jackson. Here is the token:

Pretty cool.
Any info on this token? How many are there what is the composition? Was it really minted in 1863?

I also found this completed listing, but not a lot of "info" on the coin's history.

Awesome! I found an 1880 silver Canadian 5-cent in a recent bag of dimes, but I think yours is better.

I found one of these in a bag of dimes about two years ago. They made two versions copper and silver. I have the silver one.
