1863 Michigan Civil War Token

I found this in the 5000 ct. bag of wheat cents I bought off of Budgood.
I couldn't really find any information on it, except of for one sold on Ebay.
Anyone have any info on this ?
I'm assuming it's a "store card", but couldn't find anything on the store even.
It looks pretty cool though.
A lot of history.

Roto, good news is awesome token buddy. Bad news is I'm going to have to confiscate it for my non-sports MI/Detroit memorabelia collection. Besides, my entire family calls me Jackson.....grandpa was a Jack too

How do you spell memorabelia?

You guys...I cannot express my graditude and thanks for all the good will and friendship that floats around this place. Alot of it is behind the scenes, and I guess it is just the type of folks here on this site.

Same way with the hotsauce gang, straight up folks. Now guitars? Talk about a crooked bunch of opportunists, maybe it is because MOST musicians are on drugs or whatever, but I would NEVER send a guitar on approval or "trust" someone that I met on a board ( for the most part ).

This goes for all of you I have had dealings with, and that is alot of you. Straight up gang that I can speak highly of, and hope the same can be said about me.

Group hug, lol, nahhhhhhhhh

OH YEAH. Just wait until you try to buy something from me. And if you have any coins I want, just send them to me and I'll try to remember you after.
As for that token thing. I'm sure your going to go back to where you got that bag of cents and complain, right?
Maybe you should. Who knows they may have thousands of them and that is there way to get rid of them.

I agree...which reminds me, Jack, I'm still short one 1909 S VDB Lincoln, and seeing as we're all in a sharing mood today....
