This lot features a set of four bi-metal cigar store trade tokens from Great Falls, Montana. As well as a "Bureau of Indian Affairs - Wyoming Territory" Brass Toe Tag. Each coin is a different size and denomination and each coin bears a slightly different decoration. The largest is about an inch and a half in diameter with the smallest being 3/4" in diameter. The obverse of each token says "Mint Cigar Store" across the top and "Great Falls" across the bottom. In the center is an ornament unique to the token value on the reverse center. The reverse of each coin reads "Good For"--top, "In Trade"--bottom, value in the center. The highest value is $1.00, then descending by half for each other coin down to 12 1/2 cents. The coins are in good condition, though the decoration on the obverse center of the smallest is very worn. The age of the Brass toe-Tag included in the lot is unknown, it does show deep script, and a nice warm finish. The toe-tag features no corpse number. The piece measures 3 5/8" L x 1 5/8" W
