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.

A recent pickup and came with a trueview, can't complain about that
New York--New York. 1860 J.N.T. Levick. Miller-NY 458. Copper. 28 mm. MS-64 RB PCGS.
A great reverse, and popular too with the curved pipes

My newbie PCGS copper is the best one I have ever seen with the strongest weave pattern ...

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.

It looks like your hiding in the bathtub watching Lincoln peeing through the shower curtain

@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

Nice gems here.

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.

Type2 · May 12, 2018 12:23PM

Some very nice coins.
