    Ex: Braddick who was kind enough to give me first shot.

    Although just a MS63 in the eyes of PCGS...

    Seeing these regularly on the browse floor and auction viewing in MS64, MS65, and MS66 I've never seen another that made me want to upgrade.

    Mr. Hall...its pronounced "Foikt' vong er" image

    well...they are all so sweet, and so rare, that coin is nice but Ill put mine up against it anyday. PCGS has not seen this one, raw since Virgil Brand, the Dice Hicks Collection...mine is the JMP counterstamp, which is a full R7+ with only six known. this is 'second finest' so they say... Its a proof, really, with some age subdued luster.

    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......

    I love this one...just so,. Ghoulish.....some say its amateurish, engravingwise, but I say for the era its pretty advanced. They didnt quite have enough room for the final letter in EXCELSIOR. loosely based perhaps on the rare 1787 Copper, but who knows. Nothing is known about Feuchtwangers engraver, who, or where, or for that matter, exactly when, it was done. All we can say for certain is that design elements and punches show up no where else in the HTT or related tokens.


    (now, if you look VERY carefully in the field on the right, beside the shield, you can see an M there. Is this the engraver or designers initial??)
