Please offer grade opinions on my 1838 Anti-Slavery Hard Times Token. I believe this token to be MS but would like to hear what you all think.

Thanks !

@mds, that is a beautiful piece. Thx for posting it.

I'm def not an expert on these, but it looks like the high points are the enslaved woman's shoulder and knee on the obverse and the tips of the leaves and the ribbon on the rev. Most all of these are showing a but of rub although your image of the obverse is a little out of focus and underneath the plastic of the 2x2 so it is hard to know for sure. If there is that tiny amount of wear, then wouldn't this be closer to AU-58 or so?

Thanks folks for posting your comments. I do appreciate you taking your time.

This is one of my favorite tokens in my collection. I really do need to get it slabbed.
