<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steven Shaw, post: 8105931, member: 121896&quot;]I just won these in an auction. While doing research I came upon some disparate findings.

A friend suggested that I write to you about this token: &quot;PAYABLE IN GOODS 25 F.J.D. &amp; CO. FORT THOMPSON, D.T.&quot; (Dakota Territory). The other side shows an eagle surrounded by stars. I have no information about it, except that there was once an old cavalry fort, Ft. Thompson, about 20 miles from where I found the token. The metal is brass, and actual size is about 20mm. Any details concerning its age, rarity, value, etc. would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>A. According to Military Tokens of the United States, Volume I (Domestic Issues) by Paul Cunningham, &quot;Fort Thompson was placed at the Crow Creek Agency, on the Missouri River in 1864. After service here for three years, it was unoccupied until being regarrisoned again from 1870 to 1871.&quot; F.J.D. &amp; Co. issued at least three denominations of tokens for use there: 25 (yours), now valued at $500; and 50 and 100, each listing for $750. (W&amp;ET gratefully acknowledges Mr. Cunningham漳 permission to excerpt the preceding information from his book, which is available from our BookMart department.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
