The property that it was found on was once the general store for the miners. Once the store closed it's doors they converted it into a 5 bedroom 2 bath home. My parents bought the property in 2002. The original building ended up burning down. The land had never been searched or had metal detectors run across it. Me, my husband and my youngest brother searched a small area for about 2 hours and found this coin and a few more but they were from the 40s and 50s.
Message: I was metal detecting on my parents property located in Sipsey, Al when I discovered a coal scrip that reads White Cross Coal Company. It's a .50 cent piece. I've tried looking the company up on google and come up empty handed everytime. Any info you could give me on this company would be greatly appreciated. I am including a picture of the coin also. I would also like to know the value of this coin. If you need to contact me you can do so at 205 388 4731. My name is Jennifer.

It's probably from Bibb County. I can't find a Bibby but that would be a natural name for a coal camp in Bibb County.
