Hi,
I went out today with my buddies, and hit a good target with four tokens in one hole. The 5 dollar one is a new one for me. Snagged a little silver and an Indian head as well.
Thanks for looking

Those all look in great shape. Four in one hole would be unexpected, to say the least.

Haven't found a single token ever with a monetary amount on it, so a token spill is pretty cool to me !
A nice collection of tokens .![]()
Tried researching the $5 token and found basically nothing. There were apparently a few $5 tokens made over the years, though most appear to be for bigger ticket items such as furniture judging by the tokens listed for sale online. But for general merchandise, I would think that it's very rare indeed. The few $5 tokens I could find listed for sale were posting for between maybe $6 to a few hundred.

I wonder why someone would carry bunches of tokens, maybe they were going to use all of them on one item. Sweet finds!

Pretty Wild! Bet someone got in trouble for losing $6.50 worth of tokens. Lot of money back then.
