Here is one for you Bill. While doing the Lincoln cent survey, being conducted by Chuck Daughtrey, this fellow came out of a circulated roll of cents.

Just a little history; seems that D. L. Wing was in the midst of some shady stock market practices back in 1887, 88 and 89.

The general consensus is that this token was before that time and may have even been around in the Civil war era.
