Any info. on this token???

Just found out how to upload pics. and this is my first.  Sorry if this doesn't come out too well.   This is an aluminum (I think) or zinc token from I don't know when.  Any information would be appreciated as to time frame and value.  Thanks in advance![/img]

The company was a working mine in 1920.

Edit: Company was in Pike Co.; operated between 1919 and 1928; employed 100.

going out on a limb here,but i think you will find there is a general store owned by the mine,and these tokens were used for advances on their pay checks.

Thanks for the information.  Really nice knowing a time period for this piece.

it's in the edkins coal token book. it is a R10 rarity. and picture scrip to boot. very very nice and especially with the elk head. collectors pay premium to get the rarer picture scrip.

there also is a $1.00 token i believe it is the same except for the denomination and size. the nickle is 20mm and the $1.00 is 33mm

yes it is aluminum.
and it was used in the 'company' general store.
you could draw scrip in advance of wages when in need of items from the store.
