Enjoy.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO. . . .

Gotta know that that last copper coin is, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

And please let me know where I can find one.

Draco,

It's actually just a Presidential medal made by the US Mint. I think you can still buy them directly - although not with as much character.

It's a 69DCAM worth about $18.

Ahh. . .yes, you can still buy it for $2.75.

I'm kinda dissapointed. I thought it may be a token I wasn't familiar with

Thanks Russ

What exactly are those "Not one cent for tribute" coins. Are those medals, tokens or what.

Jarrett,

Hard Times Tokens. Privately minted between 1832 and 1844, they were frequently used as money. At that time, there was no Federal prohibition against privately minted stuff used as such. Most of them make political or economic statements. They're a pretty cool little piece of history that doesn't cost a gonad.

And don't forget about the Civil War tokens. Also a really nice piece of history that won't cost you a fortune.
