    I've always loved the mid-19th century tokens that mimicked the reverses of the $10 gold eagle coins (in brass).

    Why this one? The hat... the eagle... the fact that it's Southern and already PCGS certified in Gem grade... all those attributes appeal to me.

    This is the only one of its type certified by PCGS and it sold at Heritage for $312 a year ago (12 June 2019). I saw it on eBay with a Best Offer option, and offered rather less than the prior sale, so I was happily surprised when my offer was accepted.

    Feel free to "pile on" with your own 19th century commercial exonumia: merchant tokens, store cards, HTTs, CWTs, counterstamps, etc.

    Really cool. I also like the copied eagle reverse. Classy looking hat—looks like good luster too.

    Really nice LordM.... The hat needs a few coins on it though... :D Cheers, RickO

    That coin is you👌

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
