    Very nice find. From the Post Office Saloon in San Francisco but don't have much more info. Website for posting all sorts of saloon token images located here: http://www.saloontokens.info/page1.php. Page where you can post your token image follows (if you wish...just scroll down to San Francisco). You may want to do a little more research to make sure: http://www.saloontokens.info/page66.php.

    Beautiful token. It would probably take a lifetime to collect all the different tokens that are out there. I'd take a nice token over a worn out silver any day!

    That's a wonderful token! I agree with coinnut, I would rather find a unique token like that than a common silver coin any day. So much history to be learned from them.

    Congrats on the great find!
