When I purchased this one I thought it was rare, then found out it is unlisted as it has a plain edge.
So I may have a unique or quite rare one

And love the handwritten notes on the paper holder

Never photographed this one with a DSLR before till now

1834 Hard Times Token "Whig Victory" HT-14A / Low-6, Brass, Rarity-6, ex. Robert A. Vlack collection & Rulau's Plate Coin.

Here is one of the heavy hitters from the So-called Dollars series. It is an example of the 1826 Erie Canal medal in silver. Back in the early 1960s, the original So-Called dollars book called this piece in silver as "uncollectable." Since then I think that NGC has graded 4 or 5 of them. This is the piece they graded PR-66. The Erie Canal was one of the landmark 19th century engineering achievemnets, and one of the factors that made New York State one of the richest states in the Union.

The obverse features Pan, the god of shepards and sometimes agriculture meeting Neptune, the god of the oceans. It symbolizes the merger of the New York State farmlands with coastal shipping, which greatly increased the markets for agricultural products. The reverse is a scene from New York Harbor.

All of the images in this thread are being shot with a macro lens I bought well over a year ago but never tried till today

BillJones, I've had a chance to hold one of these in PR-66 at one of the Baltimore shows...

Not sure if it's the same example, but if it is your images are so not doing it justice of what it looks like in hand

I think I found a new favorite marco lens

1837-1838 Dr. Jonas G. Hewett, New York, HT-279/ Low 256, Rarity-3.

Struck from rusted dies on a thin planchet.

Provenance wise this has been in the collections of Robert Hudson, Gilbert Steinberg, Dice/Hicks, Richard Gross and is also Russell Rulau's plate coin in his book on Hard Times Tokens.

Nice herd of deer or is it bevy. Note that the one labeled -1f appears to be a -2f as the die matches the -2e and not the -1b or -1d. Perhaps it was slabbed before anyone realized there were two different die varieties. Steve

Yes, it is marked on the slab incorrect. Does it affect its value?
Or are most R7, 8 and or 9?


Thanks,

That's amazing. I've been practicing medicine for 25 years, and I have no clue what a "white swelling" is. Great token!

That one wins the prize for "how much symbolism can be packed onto a small copper disc."

and it's beautiful, too.

White Swelling = Tuberculosis of Bones and Joints.
