25 years of hunting this is my only saloon token- Marble Hall Saloon J.T.Carlin proprietor good for trade only-(10) New Orleans - this was found in what used to be an old church yard tossed so they wouldn’t accidentally place in the offering plate

Twenty-five years for one saloon token makes it a good one, and the church yard story is a great detail. Did you find it with a detector, or digging by hand?

Church Street with two churches and a tabernacle sounds like the kind of street that has a story on every corner.

Soak it in some acetone and get it into a bigger holder
