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.

It's not the same as carrying around pocket change or your wallet to have on hand? Maybe going to the store for the week? But if $5 is for furniture then I assume that is a lot to be carrying around at once... idk.
Pretty Wild! Bet someone got in trouble for losing $6.50 worth of tokens. Lot of money back then.

The tokens date to the 1910's to 1920's. I would expect that at some point in the 30's or forties that they stopped using them. And that the kids were allowed to use them for play money?
I would think it is a rare token. I have never dug a five dollar trade token of any kind. Verdenburg was one of the founders of the grocery chain Hy-Vee. And given that five dollars was a lot of money in the early 20th century they couldn't have made many of them.
Great finds, the tokens are always nice finds!
