I am still adding to my Civil War Token collection, but I recently bought this token. My first Hard Times Token, probably not my last.   |

That is very nice Fuzzy. I was just reading a little about them the other day and will try to pick up a few. But I think I have a lot of pots on the fire right now if you know what I mean.  I Really like that Token! |

I just came across one of these and had to pick it up, First non damaged Hard times token.
I do have a book on them, I will have to dig it up and take pics. It has no Author listed.

I found the token listed in ' 2015 The Red Book ' in case you didn't know. page 406 Not One Cent, Motto. Copper L31, HT46 VF = $50.00 EF = $75.00 AU = $150.00 Hope that helps. Also lists a book covering 500 varieties of Hard Time Tokens as well but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post that.  |

I don't see why you couldn't post the title of that book in this thread. It'd be on topic and relevant. Go for it -MV |

I hadn't thought about checking my Red Book to attribute the token.  I will have to check that out, and research the listed book. Thanks |

The book I mentioned is Listed in the 2015 Red Book on page 406. It is : Russell Rulau's ' Standard Catalog of United States Tokens ". 1700-1900 (fourth edition) It say's it lists over 500 varieties of "Hard Times" tokens. Hope that helps. |
