I didn't get to my plantation permission due to extra heavy fog that didn't let up till noon. So I hit a local picnic area and this place was fairly clean as far as targets go. So swinging back to the truck I get this slamming 13 solid. Popped the plug it's a nickel...rescan two nickels... rescanned five nickels a dime and 3 pennies all late 60's. So on my final scan....One of my favorite finds. A 1930's Louisiana Luxury Tax 1 token....Tax tokens were created as a means for consumers to avoid being “overcharged” by having to pay a full penny tax on purchases of five or ten cents. Issued by private firms, municipalities and by twelve state governments, sales tax tokens were generally issued in multiples of 1 mill or one tenth of a cent.
