Darn, all I could come with is this Dan Carr Token.

 

Tokens it is.

 

Next play would be any token or medal or any coin dated 1837.

 

WOW, to MY surprise I had one

 

This strawberry token was made in 1921.

 

Why do they call it a strawberry token?

 

These are picker's tokens that were made specifically for strawberries. From about 1890 to 1955 The southwest corner of Missouri was a massive strawberry producing center. Thousands of boxcars of berries were shipped all over the U.S. and even to Canada. These tokens were made to pay the traveling workers that came from that corner of the state, Kansas, Arkansas and elsewhere. The typical denominations the tokens come in are: 1 quart, 4 quart, 1 tray, 1 crate and even 5 and 10 crates.
6 qt. = 1 tray, 24 qt. = 4 trays = 1 crate.
There are picker tokens for other states, but I haven't researched them yet.

I'll put in a Token Effort:

 

I only have 9 out of the 60. There are quite a few in this list that have an estimated 50 or less in existence.

 

1901/0, so 1901, 1900, or any gold, right?
