Default Large cent, Token, and Sterling bracelet

RP and I got out today to one of "his" areas. I used my DD shooter coil again and it worked some nice finds out for me. I was swinging my coil along a path when I got a nice "Half" dollar reading that pinpointed at 5". I called RP over to watch me dig it. After digging 5 inches of dirt out, I saw the coin in the pile. It turned out to be an 1852 "Braided Hair" cent. The reverse of the coin is in great shape.
At a different area, I got a 50 VDI reading that pinpointed at 2.5". The target turned out to be a token. On the front is, "Good For 1 Pack." I guess it could have been used for a pack of cigars. Could anyone help me identify this token? How old could it be? I would greatly appreciate it.
I also found a Sterling silver bracelet. It read "Dime" and was 3.5". The front of it says, "Lovely 18." I also found 9 Wheaties for the day.

Nice digs Keith. I'm still waiting to dig my first recognizable large cent.

I know where the log cabin that's by the school originally sat....and have permission to hunt there in the fall and early winter when the foliage dies back and the snakes go to sleep. There could be some nice stuff there...but it's going to be tough to hunt.
