Got out to the site where I found my trade dollar a couple years ago and pulled a buffalo nickel and this. Its copper, looks like it's got a bit of age and the eagle style seams pretty old like the reverse of a capped bust or seated quarter. Any ideas?? I can't seem to find anything online even remotely like it. Thanks!

That's a tough one! What state do you live in? There's an online token catalog, but I would need the state to help narrow it down.

The token was found in southern Indiana near the Ohio river. Thanks for the help. Is this a public database or just something you have access to?
 
My two guesses are:
Antique Victor slot machine token
OR
a Victor, Colorado territorial token.
I couldn't find anything like it online either :roll:
Hope someone can ID it, excellent find!
 
Couldn't find it, but there is a town in Indiana named Victor. Could be a saloon (or other business) token from there.

This must be a rare token! Great find!

Thanks for the link! did you scan all the tokens? I may also check Kentucky tokens since we are right on the border.
 
Public site. They have 8170 tokens listed for Indiana! Might be tough to find, but it's worth a shot. Here's the link:

http://tokencatalog.com/

I did few searches across all the tokens including "e pluribus unum". I didn't find any exact matches but i found quite a few with the same reverse with "e pluribus unum" and similar eagle, but all had different obverses. The vast majority of these were either saloon or cigar type tokens mainly around the 1880's. So for now that's what I'm thinking it likely is.
