It always great to receive your coins taped to cardboard

Just masking tape. Could have been far worse. Heck of a thing to happen to such a cool token!

Are these 'election' tokens. They look like campaign material!

Better than having your stamps taped to cardboard - but only barely.

chabot510 · July 25, 2008 3:02AM

Please post the seller so I can be sure an NEVER buy from him (or her).

coinsarefun · July 25, 2008 3:35AM

You know I have been trying to reference these in Rulau's token book and cannot find a match.
Either I am missing something or they are not in there?

If someone can help me out it would be great!

There isn't much listed in Rulau about these tokens, but in the 3rd edition they are on page 98.

According to the 4th edition The first one is HT814 R-4 but there is differences on the obverse and reverse.
Like the buttons and bushes?

The second one looks like HT820 R- ? but the reverse bushes on the right are different.

At least it was firm. I created a set in a new Dansco of Sacs for my wife's birthday, bought individual P & D sets. I got the 2004 from a seller named spazio(or other?) and he made a pocket of shipping tape, paper and invoice with an open end. When I opened the invoice they fell to my tiled floor. I emailed him to b***h and insist on a refund, he ignored me and he is a power seller no less. Go figure.

I'm not sure if this helps but, Rulau has them listed under "Hard Times-Satirical" tokens .
I think that they are a type of campaign tokens.

Yoikes!

very nice tokens...the sharply struck one qualifies for the finest looking accented hair variety...Russ eat your heart out.

farthing · July 25, 2008 10:46AM

Stefanie - if you search ATS you should find a thread on these tokens. I think Bill posted a extensive writeup on different types of Harrison tokens in the issue order.

coinkat · July 25, 2008 11:42AM

I really believe these are campaign tokens and will be in Ted Hake's book... give me alittle time and I will look for my edition

coinkat · July 25, 2008 11:52AM

okay I have Hake's Book 1789-1916 and I am seeing similar tokens, but not these two. Hake's book is not complete

adamlaneus · July 25, 2008 11:55AM

Where is your BST thread. Surely you are selling some tokens by now!

lordmarcovan · July 25, 2008 11:57AM

Eh, it happens. Better masking tape than duct tape or something else, as previously mentioned. Just give 'em the acetone treatment.

Cool holeys, BTW.

I never neg or scold such sellers via feedback, as they're usually just innocent folk who don't know better. I usually just send a polite email suggestion not to do that in the future, lest they annoy some other less-forgiving buyer. Usually I get a contrite response thanking me for the advice and promising to sin no more.

I'd rather have a taper than somebody who just plops 'em in there loose to rattle around and work their way out of a torn corner of an envelope. I've had one or two of those over the years, but fortunately such idiocy is rare.

That's what I saw in Rulau's book, similar but not the same.

I can do better than taped coins, I have gotten taped banknotes.

zeebob · July 25, 2008 12:50PM

I got bank notes with prices written in pencil on them. A very nice seller in Chile provided them to me but for some reason declined to accept them back.

nicetoning42107 · July 25, 2008 12:51PM

That's funny, but it's not.

I've gotten taped coins before; just junk Silver. And a while in the acetone bath.

Broadstruck · July 25, 2008 12:57PM

This happened to me 3 years ago as I got a NGC non bar code soap bar holder that the seller duct taped to a sheet of styrofoam and wrapped with craft paper. The duct tape removed with TLC completely removed NGC's seal on the back of the holder!

BECOKA · July 25, 2008 1:14PM

If there is any tape residue make sure you do a quick dip in acetone.

SkyMan · July 25, 2008 1:43PM

Fun looking tokens Stefanie.

eyoung429 · July 25, 2008 1:58PM

some of these ebay sellers just don't get it....

Remember this one?

I forgot about that one.........

Cute token. How I hate when people do that to coins. There was an auction company, mid-america who wrapped a grouping of proof franklin halves that I won in one of their auctions, enclosed in pvc flips, VERY tightly in rubber bands.

I was annoyed to say the least.

I just got a 15 dollar coin taped to a piece of paper and stuck in a regular envelope with a 41 cent stamp. He charged 2.69 Shipping. Gave him a + for the coin but feedback included the brief lecture. He's a "coinshop", to boot.

techeff · July 25, 2008 4:34PM

That sucks, but I'd be more pissed about the holes they drilled in them before they shipped 'em...
