Don't see these very often around these parts, so when these came in to the local dealer, I picked them up.

Cool designs.

Hey those are cool.My dad has that first one .He bought it OTC at his coin shop.
What`s it worth?

Naaaa, they aren't cool at all and I certainly don't see them fitting into your collection at all.
So, please send them to me, where they will fit it jussssst fine

The Running Boar HT-9 sells for about $100 in XF although only a Rarity 1 it's one of the most popular hard times token designs.

Nice to see more HTT's on the boards

The Starbuck & Son Hard Times Merchant Token is really neat!

Very cool. I was just looking through my own Hard Times Token collection this afternoon, for the first time in a long time. They are very cool coins.

Great images!

I am actualy about to send a hoard of 50 or so HT-70's ( I take responsibility ) to auction somewhere. It's time to make room in the vault. Not being a hard times token afficianado, where would you all recommend I send them? They run anywhere from LOW damaged anacs graded to gem NGC MS-65's.

I'm keeping some of them

I'm working on a hoard of a certain type of Conder token now. I don't know why

According to Rulau United States Token (4th. edition)
Hard Times Token Rarity scale is the following.

The rarity scale goes from 1-9
R1 common
R2 less common
R3 scarce
R4 76-200 pieces survive
R5 31-75 pieces survive
R6 13-30 pieces survive
R7 4-12 pieces survive
R8 2-3 known
R9 unique

Although I wish it was rare its not

Keep in mind Civil War token R scales are different

But I do have quite a few other tokens that is an R8 in CWT's and or Merchant cards

Oh I can see now...too bad...

I thought that R2 is similar to URS2 (see scale below)

HTT threads sink pretty fast almost like they are struck from lead
