Why? A scratched copy of a medal?

I would suspect that Mr. Jones had these made as advertisements.

It was in a small box with 20 other tokens. He pulled the 1st one out and it was this one he then looked at me said $25 bucks for the box. I said i'll take it all the others are condor tokens I'll post some pic when i get back.... Crazy. I don't know much about condor tokens but i know they are worth more then the $25 i payed. Here is one.

Looks like a hard times token. Too bad about the scratches.

Without even seeing the tokens I will say $25 was a great deal!!

Your original post is a hard times token MA 1833 ATTLEBORO HT-152 Rarity2

coindeuce

Listed in the late Russell Rulau's "Standard Catalog of United States Tokens, 1700-1900".

Listed in the Hard Times token category. Located in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Issued 1833. This should be HT-152, with straight lines of text on reverse. One of about 5 different copper varieties known, all rather common, except unless Gem BU and red. Used as an advertising piece to promote the company's recognition as an award winning exhibitor at early A.I.N.Y. annual fairs. I have a AU example of HT-155, with curved lines of text on reverse. A copy of a 1836 Gold A.I.N.Y. medal.

Ipicked this one up a few years back and is probably the nicest one I have seen to date......not cheap but worth every cent

DUIGUY

Love these. Heres a medal example;

WoW very nice here are some of the others.



































Wow that's alot of work....

coinsarefun

Offhand they all look realitively common, would need to know the edge to be sure.
Although you may have something with the last Conder token......the Sherborne halfpenny might be a winner.
I have to go to my computer and will getback with you soon.


Still a great buy!!!

Cool looking old copper.

I have one of those 1833 tokens and it's no longer a mystery coin.

Thanks for posting I would have paid $25 just for the coolness factor.

keyman64

I don't collect the stuff but dannnnng, for $25 that stuff seems really cool! Heck, at $25 even I might become a collector of it...just to see some of those dates is cool.

joeykoins

Yes! I agree with the Keyman. Very nice and interesting for little as 25$. Great conversation pieces too. You can't beat those years for that money.

tincup

You did well... an interesting group for a good price.

ricko

Well done... that is $25 well spent. Cheers, RickO

I don't Condor tokens so I can't comment about them, but the Hard Times Token that started this thread is a Low 76, HTT 153, and it is common. Since the piece has been cleaned and has intentional scratches it is not worth a great deal, probably $10 or a bit less.

Meltdown

Looks like a great deal to me!
