2003-W $10 Gold First In Flight Commemorative NGC MS69 Reverse Strike Through Error - Asking $1,175.00 Shipped.
Unique for the issue as a mint error and is pedigreed to the "U.S. Vault Collection".
It's technically a MS70 but the TPG's stopped awarding a perfect 70 to error coins.
Will be shipped Next Day Air Insured.
~ Certified Hard Times Tokens ~
1837 Illustrious Predecessors HT-33 / Low-19, R-1, NGC MS65BN = ASKING $795.00 SHIPPED.
A tough variety to locate with any trace red. This example is very lustrous with lovely deep blue patina.
It does have 10% trace red mint color in the periphery and devices of on both the obverse and reverse.
Far nicer then my images as it's total eye candy when examined and rotated under a light source.

1833 Francis L. Brigham "Cheapside" New Bedford, Massachusetts HT-176 / Low-73, R-3, CH AU = Asking $495.00 Shipped.
A tougher hard times era merchant store card to locate in at any grade level, even John Ford who had his pick of many of the greatest collections of Hard Times Tokens was only able to locate a EF specimen. The central shopping area was known as Market Square, and a portion of Pleasant Street became known as "Cheapside" possibly as merchants there emphasized inexpensive goods. Although Francis J. Brigham is listed in the 1836 directory as a dentist, he likely had a business interest in the Cheapside dry good stores as well. Crudely struck as this variety is plagued with strike and planchet issues. Most all seen have ailments of such as laminations, de-laminations, or micro porosity planchet issues. The lettering on the reverse on many examples is blurred or non existent do to peripheral striking weakness. The example here is attractive dark glossy brown and extremely well struck, as it shows details as fine or finer as any NGC 58/62 I've seen as the main points for friction are along the entrance way and columns leading towards the right edge of the building. Some planchet porosity is present on the lower obverse and upper reverse which can be seen with the aid of a loupe. Still a far better token overall then the Dice/Hick EF which hammered nearly $800 a couple years ago.
1825 Peale's Museum, HT-303/ Low-269 / Miller NY-632, R-5 to 6, VF Details = Asking $595.00 Shipped.
Large thick 35 mm copper planchet, struck from a broken obverse die. (For scale a Silver $1 is 38.1 mm in diameter) It was struck during the Hard Times era of 1832-1844 as the date on the obverse only symbolizes the date of establishment. There's not a lot of info on how this token was used, either for a one time entry or as a season pass? I know some of you may look at this posted item and wonder what was I thinking? It's a chuck of Americana with a ton of neat history and I've always liked the obverse design. Although this VF example has a lot of problems, so do the finest in XF or AU. NGC has only certified 1 example in XF-45 and in researching these I only know of about 5-6 examples including this one.

<< <i>The mint let through a strike through on the wing of the commem honoring the first flight? "Heads will roll!!!".
Sweet coin though. >>
Thanks and yes the strike through is in a neat location, as on this example it was not their first flight!
<< <i>How come the right side wing dont have a skid bar? >>
I guess to keep the design clean as it would run right into the rim
