Not being an expert on HTT's, what is the difference in price from an 164 and an 163 token? Just curious.

<< <i>1830-34 William H. Milton, Boston, Low-266 / HT-164, R-1, Copper.
Milton worked out of Faneuil Hall in Boston which still has merchant stalls to this day.
Faneuil is misspelled "Fanueil" on one side of the token and correctly spelled on the other marking this as Rulau-HT-164 rather than the Rulau-HT-163. >>
Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.

During the early 1830's merchant strip stores... Then called Cheapsides, now called Mini-Malls began to surface in the New England region.
The difference between the HT-163 and HT-164 is the spelling and misspelling of the name of the hall Milton rented space in to run his clothing business.
To Err Is Human.... To Collect Err's Is Just Too Much Darn Tootin Fun!
I just saw one of those "How it's made" shows and they showed us how a straight edge razor was made. In the 80 step process they cut a piece of thumb metal (Like a really thick/wide thumb ring). Maybe someone used this soft copper to test a knife. Just a thought.

It doesn't look like much thought went into it though.
I second boredom.

<< <i>the thought that it could be copper coated zinc or some silly contrivance like that just pushed the person into testing it. >>
If that were the case, I doubt there would be more than one or two cuts.

Yep.
