Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Congrats!

    The first I remember seeing of this issue was one Charmy showed years ago, I was awestruck at that time and never forgot it. I've only seen two, so chances are likely far and few, I'd be stoked.

    From what others you have shown it will go great with your collection. Super cool.

    Really striking piece - I really like how some original red highlights the figures.

    But I'll bite - what is this token supposed to be "about"?

    My current "Box of 20"

    Bill Dugan did the work on this one

    Of course, July 14, 1791 was the second anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, but it seems that that day was also the start of three days of rioting in and around Birmingham England. The rioters were the loyalists and the people they were rioting against were the "seditious" supporters of the French Revolution!

    Partly the magic of the internet - the Priestley Riots:

    Wikipedia is a mixed bag, but this article is pretty good!
