<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1109517, member: 22729&quot;]Hobo is right, tokens of this era rarely designated the state, as they circulated locally. &quot;T.V.V.&quot; (whatever it stood for) was probably familiar to the locals, so a state location, or even a city designation wasn&#039;t necessary. They would know who or what &quot;T.V.V.&quot; represented. This really is similar to a Civil War era style of token and is the reason I thought it would date to c 1850-1870. The purpose of this token is hard to determine, but probably had some value to someone who posessed it, such as redeemable for a free drink at a saloon or a discount on the purchase of some product from a merchant. Whatever its purpose, it&#039;s a nice historical piece. I wouldn&#039;t mind having this in my own collection.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
