I miss out on some others a buyer was buying all they had and passed on this lot he got some good one on the cheep, After he took off i ask to see them and tossed the offer out there and they took it. Thank you for the info Broadstruck.
Earlier this year, when my daughter's AP US History class was studying Jackson, the banks, and the 1830s in general, I sent her to a website that had pictures and explanations of a bunch of these tokens. As I don't collect them myself, it's as close as I could get her to them at the time. We all know that there's nothing like holding history in your hands to make it more interesting, and doesn't matter how old you are, or what the state of preservation of these artifacts is. I'd think that handing off a couple of the ratty R1s to a competent US History teacher so that he/she and interested students could hold one of these 175 year old artifacts while teaching or studying the era and circumstances of their manufacture would be a hobby outreach project that could pay some serious dividends.

They are all R-1 except for the bottom row 2nd in from the left Liberty Head HT-36/Low-22 which is R-3.
Looking at the reverse the word "NOT" has been scratched out which is pretty common.
Still I would have paid $10 for just that one token.
As a group if listed on Ebay I see no reason why these wouldn't bring upwards of $100 or more as the HT-36/Low-22 is still a $25-40 token alone.
Edited to add: I've never found a single HTT at any B&M
