1838 "LOCO FOCO" Benton Experiment - Mint Drop, HT-63 / Low-55, Hard Times Token.
Quite a homely looking ole gal, that's commonly seen dateless, crudely struck, & never seen with any trace red remaining as she’s had a rough paper route. It's one of the satirical token issues which circulated as a cent however unlike Miss Liberty on the 1838 Federal Mint struck cents on this she's portrayed as a Native American Woman.

Maj Gen William H. Harrison, HT-810C. Listed by Rulau as a Hard Times Token. I can't recall the Dewitt catalogue number for this political token. It is fairly scarce, especially this nice.

Nice "Loco Foco," Frank. Though the phrase reminds me of some bad guy, Mexican pro wrestler. I can hear the stadium go wild as he swaggers into the ring face painted with a sombrero on his head.

That is a beautiful Civil War Token! In case you have not attributed it, it is 189/399a which is a Rarity 1.

@CWT1863... I really like the Tresler Grocery token with the fouled anchor. I am not a token collector, however, being former Navy, I would pick that one up if I saw it in a shop or at a show. Cheers, RickO
My favorite copper piece.

In the spirit of WaterSport's unattributed recent cherry pick, here's a 1925-S RPM-001, FS-501, I picked up recently. Nothing super special in condition (AU-58), but very nice eye appeal (I think) on an interesting strong south-spread RPM.
Some very nice coins.
Hoard the keys.
